Aaaand I thought we’d end this series with some more listening, starting with some more modern things:
Jive Coffee – Brad Mehldau with Jeff Ballard
Much more after the break:
Jive Coffee – Bill Stewart Trio
Same tune, different band.
Lennie’s Groove – Fly Trio – Mark Turner with Jeff Ballard
This is probably notated in 10/8, but I would think it in 5:
Dave Holland – The Sum of All Parts
Dave Holland – Conference of the Birds – COTB ECM – Barry Altschul on drums
Dave Holland – Make Believe
“Make Believe”, was written right before the recording and its 5/4 rhythm structure is one the bassist was introduced to through his association with Tunisian oud virtuoso Anouar Brahem. “Anouar introduced me to this type of rhythm – which alternates two groups of five beats, first 3 & 2 and then 2 & 3 – that exists in Arab music”, Holland explains.
Dave Brubeck – Far More Blue – Time Further Out Columbia
Dave Brubeck – Far More Drums – Time Further Out Columbia
Dave Brubeck – Unisphere – Time Changes Columbia
Booker Little – Hazy Blues – Max Roach on drums
5/4 section begins after 5:20
Steve Coleman – Multiplicity of Approaches – Curves of Life
A few other things not available on YouTube:
Dave Holland – Processional – Extensions ECM
Hank Jones / Dave Holland / Billy Higgins – The Oracle – The Oracle EmArcy
Don Ellis – Concerto for Trumpet – ‘Live’ at Monterey! Pacific

Jethro Tull – Living in the Past – Stand Up

Mission Impossible theme – Lalo Schifrin
Like Brubeck’s Take 5, there’s almost no need to include this one, it’s so famous:
