So named because it is in quintuple tempo, or* five*-four time. Such a magnificent piece!

Check out this rendition by Panzerballett. Not only do they play it in the standard 5/4, they also play it in a different time signature at the same time:

Great recommendation!! That was awesome! That might be my new favorite rendition of take five :o

I once made a CD with only that track, decorated it appropriately as "Wedding Dance" in a nice box, and handed it to the DJ when my newlywed friends were heading to the dance floor.

Uncanny. I listened to Brubeck a few hours ago.

i think we were listening to it at the exact same time, i posted this right after finishing the album
