"A couple of people have asked how I made this video so here we go - I took a clip from a 1964 live version of Take Five (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT9Eh...) and made the drum loop by chopping up the intro and turning it from 5/4 into the 3/4 - 4/4 groove that Golden Brown has. The upright bass sound is sequenced from Logic, and the piano part was played in using one of the piano sounds from a Nord Electro 5D. Then I played the sax part over the top (I play a King Zephyr alto and for this I used a hard rubber Yanigasawa mouthpiece rather than my usual bright Guardala). The video was then edited using the clip I'd taken the drum loop from."

That turned up in my toob a while back and it really annoyed me. I mean they took what was part of Brubeck / Desmond's toying with time signatures (hence the name "Take Five") and changed that, with a lousy-cut-failed-loop of the opening drums, overlaid a different sax (the vid maker) and piano. So basically, let's play a tune about heroin, mask it as one of the greatest jazz pieces ever.

Golden Brown itself uses variable time signatures but if you compare the two separately, there is a world of difference.
