  1. As if the solo wasn't incredible enough, he adds the stick slide, accenting the downbeat at 8:00, bell on the cymbal, into a 20's style burlesque beat to bring it home. Morello is truly a drummer's drummer.

  2. At the 3:50 mark is the first instance of two musicians sharing a private joke on stage. It happened before, just not recorded.

  3. These guys made it look easy? RIP Dave Brubeck, Eugene Wright, Joe Morello and Paul Desmond…the best jazz band in heaven. God brought them home so he could watch them play every night.

  4. A dear friend and music buddy shared this with me the night the St. Louis Blues won the Stanley Cup in 2019. Too cool of a tribute. I still revisit this video now and then.

  5. Joe Morello and Eugene Wright were in lockstep with one another. No wonder Dave Brubeck cancelled a tour of the Deep South in America because a black man wasn’t allowed to play there. Dave Brubeck a man both musically and morally years ahead of his time.

  6. I got to see Brubeck live in Germantown TN. In 2003, a true bucket list amazing experience .

  7. As much as paul desmond is the goat and one of my favorite .. Tom, his sound.. his look his rawness and precision .. I make him breakfast every morning

  8. Wonder if their parents ever told them they needed to get “real” jobs. Their energy/fun is infectious.

  9. How come Morello's solo is so amazing yet with only a small kit. I dont understand how fantastic it is. What's he doing?
