nice sharing thanks
Looks like it rush hour!
You struck my main nerve! I bought the Take Five album when I was a kid and wore it out……Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Joe Morello, Eugene Wright…..Yeah baby!
Bisogno
PS I bought a snare drum at Manny’s in NY and Joe Morello was there. He tuned it for me. It was the best sounding snare I ever heard (for about two weeks).
LOVE these old archival clips. This one is Excellent! Thanks for posting – I’m adding it to my Youtube favorites
