Take Five (Paul Desmond, Dave Brubeck) - Vanessa Varela, flute - Live at UMD, 2013

Excellent rendition. Love the flute on this song...

Nice !

speaking from experience, being modified from sax to flute, this is a BITCH to play. such an amazing performance!

Flute is such an versatile and super musical instrument. This video is truly a great example of what I say
The young musicians here are all talented jazz musicians their performance in here is one top notch.
Salute the lady and all others including the bass player for recording the same.

This is really cool 🎹🎵👍

The flute gives this such a sweet, feminine feel. Marvelous!

😎 👍

The flute is the "naked instrument". Mistakes in intonation are immediately apparent. The flute also has a limited dynamic range. She did a good job but she read the part.

Oh yes - that works!

Definitely one of the nicest renditions I've listen too. Nice work for sure.

Drummers using the brushes. I am all in whenever they do that.

I like your version better than Dave Brubeck's version, and he's the one that wrote it. I SUBBED

flute ain't swinging for the life of it

Nice Job Vanessa...drummer did a great solo.

I enjoyed this! 😊 A lot! As someone whose heard a number of versions of this song, I enjoyed it. 👍

The subtle sound of the flute is extremely relaxing and puts me in a good mood and gives me serenity, Thanks!

If we had never heard of Paul Desmond, THIS would be a classic.

La musique,du Faso est une source intarissable de douceurs.

I play this flute since 1990. I play Jazz too. I also play tango music, world music...

Great job 👏🏼 Beautiful tone

Trés Trés belle version bravo ❤❤👏👏

Lizzo has ruined the flute.

Very , very nice 🌟 👍👍

Awesome! I'd like to know what score they used, I play classical guitar with a flute player. Thanks! Tim

Looooove this...

These young musicians were making MUSIC. That was their main concern. Not going through some kind of individualistic competition or malabarism of sorts. The more I listen to music and watch people performing, the more I value what these guys did. Thank you, Jazz Laureate.

👍😀👍wonderful

How can you listen to this rendition of such a classic jazz tune and not walk away absolutely loving the flute?

I PLAYED THIS TWICE TO MAKE SURE that it was as good as I thought it was originally and it was. The flute & the brushes all had the right touch. I believe these solo's were transcribed from the original solo's, the drum solo partially THIS PERFORMANCE IS A KEEPER !!!

FABULOUS!

nice job

Perfectly played! I loved this rendition.

super beautiful.

Great interpretation but it seems the flutist is not a jazz musician. Everything was played from sheet music more like classical music without any improvisation/solo.....

Efective.

Ms. Varela is doing Paul Desmond's solo on her flute / listen to her / really fine

Top

😀Just getting back into listening to jazz in my 70s. This performance is absolutely stellar. The entire quartet is deserving of praise for an excellent version of the Dave Brubeck classic!

Todo muy prolijo, muy conservatorio, romoan esos sonidos, mejor toquen cerrando los ojos

My name is Vanessa Varela

Wow fantastico.. Bravissimi🙏🤗

5/4 fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏🇪🇸

....razon que El Yo Mio, vagabundo postcovidiano, va desencarnando dos veces. Una desde El Aqui, y otra desde El Mas Alla. Y ha sido para disfrutar esta belleza de musica.
Al retornar desde El Mas Alla, vi como la Tierra contoneaba esta musica.
Saludos desde el terrunio mas cercano al Dios Sol de la HERMANDAD: Ecuador.

Come to Kenya and look for Sonia kabare and olive mboya

! QUE pureza de sonidos !!!

That was a great recital! Awesome job Vanessa!

Bravo
