5/4

It's a pentagon, dancing a formal waltz, turning at intervals.

It's so much fun to play because it's so weird and odd. The extra beats make room for all kinds of craziness like ghost notes.

I love ghost notes, especially in a shuffle. But I digress.

Here is the song that got me hooked on jazz and the coolest time signature there is. Also, Joe Morello was a fucking beast on the drums. He knew his rudiments like a carpenter knows wrench sizes. John Bonham was undoubtedly watching.

  1. Dave Brubeck is the shit. Blue Rondo a la Turk is my favorite song of his, but that whole album is phenomenal.
