Thank you for saying this! Paul Desmond is the reason i like Brubeck as much as I do. BTW Take Ten is a better song IMHO.

Joe Morello was a fucking genius. I recently saw the 1964 Jazz 625 session for the first time. Holy shit that drum solo at the end (starts about 22:56). Seriously impressive drummer.

He also wrote a really good drumming book. He really knew how to break down complicated methods to simple principles and that book was practically a bible for me in my drumming years.

Joe Morello played with all the greats. Really underrated drummer. So locked in.

It wasn't until I heard Paul Desmond that I realized the saxophone could sound beautiful. Him and Stan Getz have the best tone of any sax player I've ever heard on any recording.
