As with many songs, "Take Five" has a story that is more encompassing than just the notes on the page or the sounds from a recording. It talks about overcoming obstacles, articulating a creative vision, and seizing upon spontaneity. In this week's NLS Music Notes Blog, our series "Song Stories" explores the "Cool Jazz" standard, "Take Five."
Learn the story behind one of the most beloved Latin jazz standards, "The Girl from Ipanema," and how to borrow the song in different formats from the NLS Music Library.
