Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond: Take Five on AllMovie

One in a series of jazz-themed compilation releases, the title of this one is misleading, as neither Dave Brubeck nor Paul Desmond appear in all of the concert clips presented here. The program is culled from three unrelated sessions. The first features Brubeck on piano, Desmond on alto sax, Joe Morello on drums and Eugene Wright on bass; it was shot in San Francisco on October 17, 1961. The selections in that segment include: "Take Five," "It's a Raggy Waltz," "Castillian Blues," "Waltz Limp," and "Blue Rondo a la Turk." The second features Desmond on alto sax, Don Thompson on bass, Jerry Fuller on drums, and Ed Bickert on guitar, playing "Emily"; it was shot in Monterey, California on September 21, 1975. And the third has nothing to do with either Brubeck or Desmond; instead, it features a session led by trumpeter Shorty Rogers, with Gary LeFebrvre on tenor sax, Gary Peacock on bass, Larry Bunker on drums, and Lou Levy on piano. It was filmed in New York in 1962. Selections in that segment include "Martians," "Time Was," and "Greensleeves."
