1001 Albums Summary

I mean I can't count how many times I've listened to Take Five. I remember driving around with my dad when I was a kid and it was always on the radio because he listened to smooth jazz 105.9, and this was one of the rare songs I loved as opposed to literally anything by Kenny G. But I haven't sat and listened to the rest of the album intently before and it is just brilliant. The push and pull of the tempo in Blue Rondo to start is genius, such a journey to go through in a nearly 7 minute track. Everybody in the band pulls their weight.
