Every time i hear this song i want to pick up a bari sax. This is one of those jazz songs that is just so crazy its impossible to even comprehend fully. The intro is arguably the best part, however the entire song is fun and flowing. The trumpet solo towards the middle is really smooth and a total stylistic change from the rest of the song. All in all, i would definitely reccomend this song for jazz listening and playing. Enjoy!

Take Five - Bolyki Brothers
This is one of the coolest acapella videos i've ever seen. The Bolyki Brothers are an amazing vocal quartet. This cover of the jazz clasic Take Five is awesome. Make sure to listen to the solo sections.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take 5
The Dave Brubeck Quartet performs "Take Five". Written by Paul Desmond, Desmond and Brubeck and the rest of the quartet play this up beat 5/4 tune on some tv show in 1961. Man i miss the days when this kind of music was ACTUALLY on tv.
Cherokee - GRP All star Big Band
One of the best combinations of professional jazz musicians ever. The GRP all stars have the best of the best and play like it. This trumpet feature is amazing.
Green Onions Cover
This kid really melts my mind. He does a immaculate cover of the classic Booker T. Band song Green Onions. His parents must be in the business though, he has the best equiptment available.
I mean you (thelonious monk, petrucciani)
I had to learn this piece for a recent audition. This cover of the song popped up and i was blown away. This guy plays all the different instruments with extreme skill. I mean you
Tears in Heaven (boquilhas Ever-ton)
I found this a few months ago while looking up eric clapton covers. This guy plays a mean Tenor Sax. He gets a beautiful tone with his set up. The video is actually an advertisement for a mouthpiece called the Boquilhas Ever-ton. Unfortunately, it's currently only sold in brazil.
