Take 3 is my imagining of what the traditional Christmas carol We Three Kings might have sounded at Christmas time around the household of the great jazz pianist Dave Brubeck. For those not familiar with his material, one of Brubeck’s best known pieces is Take 5, a piece written in the somewhat odd time signature 5/4 time. Much of Take 3 is also in 5/4. Coincidence? I think not. 🙂
Great arrangement! Thanks for sharing it! I’ve downloaded it and put it into my “when I’m great and able to do this” folder! 🙂
I’m really enjoying learning this version
It’s got that Brubeck feel and I love the timing. Thanks for sharing this.

Great arrangement! I hope to be playing it by Christmas! Thanks!
Thanks. You know what they say, “Christmas is a coming”. Only 20 days before the best before date on Christmas carols. 🙂

We Three Kings has proven to be another superb piece of artistry by a man who has truly mastered his skills as bona fide professional! A master at his trade who has the ability to musically/architecturally rejuvenate and enhance classics from the past in a truly complimentary manner! Classics which, although stood the test of time, they left room to prove that a new coat of paint would neither deprive nor distract from the original artistÂ’s concept. Great going Bob!
