This appears on a Dave Brubeck's album called Time Out which is a remarkable album taken as a whole. But "Take Five" written in the key of E flat minor by alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, jumped out of this record and became the best selling jazz single of all time 2 years after it was recorded in July 1959 at Columbia studios in New York. It's a catchy, but very complicated tune.

Zoot Sims swings this mainly bebop, Dizzy Gillespie composition - with a mid 50's cool sound and some emerging recording technology called overdubbing - that's the process of recording a new track onto the master while listening alongside existing ones. Quaint by todays standard but at the time it gave musicians some very new options.

Kevin's vocal style is influenced by his time as a baritone saxophone player. This was his second recording on Warner Brothers. He's a big man who can channel that presence into some fleet vocalizing with the smooth measured sounds found in the best jazz crooners.
