It is also known for the solo by drummer Joe Morello. While “Take Five”was not the first jazz composition to use this meter, it was the first of United States mainstream significance, becoming a hit on the radio at a time when rock music was in fashion. “Take Five” is a classic jazz piece first recorded by the Dave Brubeck Quartet and released on its 1959 album Time Out.
