  4. "Take Five" is a #jazzStandard composed by #PaulDesmond. It was first recorded in 1959 and is the third track on #TimeOut by the #DaveBrubeckQuartet. Frequently covered by a variety of artists, the track is the biggest-selling jazz song of all time and a #GrammyHallOfFame inductee. Dave Brubeck was inspired to create an album based on #oddTimeSignatures during his state-sponsored 1958 Eurasia trip. The track was written after the Quartet's drummer, #JoeMorello.

  6. Jim Hall - "Concierto" (1975) #NowPlaying #JimHall #PaulDesmond #ChetBaker #RolandHanna #vinylrecords #vinyl #CTIRecords @vinylrecords

    I recall seeing this album referenced several times by Japanese jazz aficionados over on Twitter, which is generally the mark of a quality record. However, it's a little milquetoast to my ears.
