Take Five was WONDERFUL! The traditional material was touching and excellent!

R.

Ditto on Take 5

I saw it performed live By Dave Bruebek in Portland Maine many years ago.

Wonderful performances and a very exotic sound. Think I'll get a CD so I can listen through some decent equipment. Thanks for posting.

Jerry

Glad you enjoyed it, Russ and Jerry.

My favorites are the tradtional songs although I have a very weak spot for El Condor Pasa.

Jerry, Amazon has most of their CDs and if I'm not mistaken also their DVDs. And yes, you really have to hear it through some decent equipment.
