@thegravywaves: 1. Dave Brubeck – “Take Five” (5/4) The smoothest odd-time hit ever. 2. Rush – “YYZ” (10/8 riff cycles) Complicated on paper, but grooves like crazy. 3. Gentle Giant – “Proclamation” (7/8 pulse) Clav-driven groove that locks in despite the shifting meter. 4. Mahavishnu Orchestra – “Vital Transformation” (odd groupings over 4) Billy Cobham turns chaos into pure drive. 5. Frank Zappa – “Keep It Greasey” (19/16) Absurd on paper, but it actually funks.
Mahavishnu is goated🙌 not talked about nearly enough in my opinion

Take 5. 100%!
5 / 4 time. He broke a mold and set new standards in jazz. Zappa kept it greasy. Under appreciated unless one is a music snob or musician.
Tip top list. Thx
