Perfect for pops concerts, SUITE NO. 3 provides a quaint time capsule of jazz-inspired classical music from 1939, soon after Gershwin’s death, and just before the hard-edged modern jazz of the 1940s. In this fast-slow-fast suite, “Take Five” refers only to relaxing for a few minutes (not the song composed decades later), and “B-Bop Major” is a musical pun that must have been added later.

Yep, it's in 4/4 not 5/4. A clever chart on a super classic that everyone will recognize, young or old. The bossa nova tempo is around 130 BPM and there are written suggested solos for piano and alto sax. Lead trumpet range is to written B-flat above the staff, and an interlude reoccurs to offer contrast. It all works great! Take Five has been skillfully arranged by John Zontek. (4:50).

Dedicated to the first worldwide hit in 5/4 - Take Five, Gimme Five! uses a rhythm that is identical to the classic jazz hit. It also reflects the semi-modal approached used by saxophonist Paul Desmond when he performed one of the few jazz melodies that is instantly recognisable. This swinging piece will bring back memories of the Dave Brubeck Quartet and will be extremely popular with both players and audiences. Dit is een ode aan de eerste wereldwijde hit in de 5/4 maatsoort - Take Five van saxofonist Paul Desmond. Het basisritme is identiek aan dat van Take Five, namelijk een groepje van drie gevolgd door een groepje van tweekwartnoten. Behalve het ritme weerspiegelt Gimme Five de semi-modale benadering van Desmonds klassieker. In de openingspassage komen frasen van steeds twee maten naar voren, die op elkaar worden gestapeld, waardoor hetmodale effect wordt gecreeerd. Een geslaagde compositie, die niet onderdoet voor Desmonds klassieker!Gimme Five! ist dem ersten weltweiten Hit im 5/4-Takt gewidmet - Take Five vom Saxophonisten Paul Desmond. Ausser der rhythmischen Ahnlichkeit, spiegelt sich in Gimme Five! auch der semi-modale Ansatz von Desmonds Klassiker wider. In den Eroffnungstakten erzeugen zweitaktige ubereinander gelagerte Ostinato-Phrasen den modalen Effekt. Eine gelungene Komposition, die sich hinter Desmonds Klassiker nicht zu verstecken braucht! Gimme Five! e un omaggio musicale al primo grande successo in 5/4, Take Five del sassofonista Paul Desmond. La pulsazione fondamentale e identica a quella del jazz classico. Oltre all'assomiglianza ritmica, i due brani condividono l'approccio semi-modale utilizzato da Paul Desmond.
