About this episode
Perhaps the heart and soul of this episode is the collaboration of Joe Henderson and Alice Coltrane from the album The Elements. The other recording that deserves attention is the release of guitarist Pat Metheny' Side-Eye III+. Not only did Pat's album drop this week, but he has begun a tour of the US and Europe. I'm looking forward to seeing Metheny in May as I already have my tickets.

0:00Welcome friends and music lovers to another edition of In The Groove Jazz and Beyond. My name is Ken Laster. We're going to begin today's show with a classic composition from Paul Desmond. I'm speaking of Take 5, a composition known for its odd time signature of 5'4". We're going to hear a cover of this tune from a great trio of Stanley Clark on bass, Patrice Russian on piano and Leon and Dubu Chancellor on drums. From a 2006 release, the album is called Standards and it's fun to kind of count this tune off as you listen to it with that 5'4", time signature, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, it's got that extra beat in it. So let's take a listen to Take 5 by Clark, Russian and Chancellor.
