Take Five萨克斯谱
乐曲介绍
由于Paul Desmond在爵士历史上的地位与名气都远远不如Dave Brubeck,《Take Five》的曲作者经常被误以为是Dave Brubeck。而实际上由Dave Brubeck、Paul Desmond、Joe Morello、Eugene Wright组成的四重奏组合在1959年发行的专辑《Time Out》里,Dave Brubeck的确是除《Take Five》之外的所有乐曲的作者,这张专辑中八分之九拍、四分之五拍、四分之六拍等诸多非常规爵士乐节拍也有出现,但《Take Five》在爵士乐史上石破天惊的意义显然非专辑中其他乐曲可以比拟,在后来发行的绝大多数关于Dave Brubeck Quartet的精选专辑中,几乎100%都会收录。
歌曲歌词
Won't you stop and take
A little time out with me
Just take five
Stop your busy day
And take the time out
To see if I'm alive
Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play
Still, I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet
Sends me on my way
Wouldn't it be better
Not to be so polite
You could offer a light
Start a little conversation now
It's alright, just take five
Just take five
