This is a transcription of Take Five by Dave Brubeck as performed and improvised by pianist Terrance Shider. This was recorded at Falcetti Music in Springfield, Massachusetts. At the time, I was working in that store as a piano teacher, and occasionally I used to see Terrance coming in to try the pianos.

Terrance is an extraordinarily talented jazz pianist who plays very intuitively. I don't think he reads music; I believe he just plays by ear. He has a very unusual technique at the piano, as you'll see in this video. I was commissioned to transcribe this performance by one of Terrance's fans on his YouTube channel, and surprised him later by handing him a copy of the music in person.
