Take Five is a Paul Desmond composition in 5/4, one of the most defiant time-signatures in all music, for performer and listener alike. Conscious of how easy the listener can lose their way in a quintuple rhythm, Dave Brubeck plays a constant vamp figure throughout, maintaining it even under Joe Morello's drum solo. It is interesting to notice how Joe Morello gradually releases himself from the rigidity of the 5/4 pulse, creating intricate and often startling counter-patterns over the piano figure. And contrary to any normal expectation - perhaps even the composer's! - Take Five really swings.
Everybody's Jumpin' opens without any precise feeling of key, but with a vague impression of 6/4 time, and a strong beat. Joe Morello's brief drum solo shows again what a superb colourist he is on the canvas of percussion tone.

I'll take it as further evidence of the new American politics that is evolving and is far from settled at this point. Politicians do paid speaking gigs all the time. And at times it is controversial. But the gigs are usually some kind of speaking fee to make remarks at a corporate function -- not selling individual tickets on line. This is ostensibly to promote Biden's new book and book deals and politicians go way back. But in a lot of cases, those are free events in a book store. When Biden was last here, it was as vice president at the Norfolk Southern intermodal rail yard in Rossville.
I worried that it might be gauche to include my own ensemble's recordings in this Audio Companion. In the interest of full disclosure, I was given a stipend of $600 to curate this Companion. $100 each went to Star, Davia, JKLM, and Ygslrhstfut, and $40 each went to Zach, Ava, Sharmi, Raven and Morgan. I thought a lot about simply including works by those five composers that I didn't perform on, but I thought that, effectively, publishing one's work for $40 is more or less the same as giving it away for free. I felt (and Travis, the other half The Living Earth Show, agreed) that if I was going to ask these composers to have their work published with only $40 of compensation, it was only fair for me as a performer and recording artist to have some skin in the game as well and share in the lack of royalties from these works' publication. This is certainly not meant as a slight to this journal (exposure here is certainly an honor!), only a window into my own thought process around the monetization of musical labor. If you're feeling so inclined, please explore and purchase works from these artists' catalogs on their websites! [End Page 120] 2ff7e9595c
