East-West Fusion

Featured, Music & Kirtan

American jazz pianist and compose Dave Brubeck’s most famous song is “Take Five.” Brubeck is considered one of the foremost exponents of cool jazz. In this video, it is re-imagined with an arrangement by musicians from Sachal Studios in Lahore, Pakistan. The result is a beautiful East-West fusion experience! Brubeck explained that the song is called “Take Five” because it was written in an unusual 5/4 meter. It was one of the first Jazz songs with a time signature other than the standard 4/4 beat or 3/4 waltz time. He expressed his appreciation for this version, noting it as a huge compliment.
