This was the first jazz theme written in 5/4, and it was included on the 1959 album Time Out. Let me remind you that Dave Brubeck specifically created pieces in tricky sizes - 9/8, 6/4, 7/4 or used variable sizes (two bars by three, two bars by two). And in this experiment, the most popular theme was 5/4.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Jazz_standards_Take_Five/Take_five_2.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>The Dave Brubeck Quartet.</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Of course “five” is in the title for a reason, but actually Take Five means “five minute break”. The fact that such a theme could become a hit and that it became a household name at musical gatherings is amazing, but if you think about it, isn't that proof that jazz is no longer a music for dancing? It's no coincidence that the Brubeck Quartet achieved its greatest popularity among American intellectuals, and its concerts were most often a success with student audiences.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Jazz_standards_Take_Five/Take_five.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Dave Brubeck</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Later, arrangements for big bands emerged, and vocal versions also appeared. Of these, the most successful, in the opinion of jazz lovers, is Al Jarreau's 1977 recording (Over the Ranibow album). But I recommend listening to the original Brubeck Quartet recording. Joe Morello on drums, Gene Wright on double bass, and Desmond on saxophone.</p>\n\n<p>\n<embed src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/tT9Eh8wNMkw?si=uaG2XthjQUYn3w5P\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><br>\nOriginal Brubeck Quartet recording\n</p>\n\n<p>Paul Desmond (1924-1977) was an alto saxophonist, one of the brightest representatives of cool jazz, popular in the early fifties on the West Coast of the United States.</p>\n\n<p>In 1951-1967 he played in the Brubeck Quartet, his improvisations were characterized by striking melody and impeccable logic of development.\" I don't know why my sax produces such a sound, such a tone,\" Desmond admitted, \"Sometimes I think I'm playing illegally.

In some motifs she is described as a repulsive or fierce-looking old woman who roasts and eats children, while in others she is a sweet old woman who helps the hero.</p>\n\n<p>In East Slavic fairy tales, Baba Yaga is an old woman with supernatural powers and associated with the world of the dead, as evidenced by her appearance, place of residence and main functions. Her characteristic features are old age, decrepitude and ugliness (nose in the ceiling), emphasized female physiology (breasts hanging over the threshold). An important feature of Baba-Yaga is her one-legged or bone (less often - iron, wooden) leg, i.e. dead, devoid of flesh, which brings the character closer to other one-legged creatures of world mythology, having snake origin. There is a reason to consider Baba Yaga blind, as she recognizes the approach of a man by his smell. Baba Yaga's permanent attributes are a bread shovel, on which she tries to roast the hero, an oven, and a stupa, in which she moves with the help of a pestle.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/babayaga/BabaYaga_2.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Georgy Milyar as Baba Yaga.</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Baba Yaga's dwelling is a cramped hut, which stands on poles or goat (goat, sheep) legs or on one leg, sometimes propped up with pancakes. The bird legs of the hut have no definite explanation, their erection to tree trunks with roots, on which forest benches were placed, is doubtful. The fence around the hut consists of human bones and skulls. Baba-Yaga lies in the hut on the floor, on a bench or on the stove, occupying almost the entire space (resting her head on one wall and her feet on the other), which brings her dwelling closer to a coffin, and Baba-Yaga herself to a dead man. The hut is located on the border of the forest, being the only passageway between the human and the otherworld (\"Tridevyatiye Tsarstvo\"), where the hero of the fairy tale must get to solve a magical problem. The hut has its doors turned towards the forest, so to enter, the hero must turn its front part towards himself with the help of a special formula, and also pass a test with Baba Yaga, who at first intends to eat him. But the hero demonstrates correct behavior, wins, and humbles Baba-Yaga, who after that is forced to help him.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/babayaga/Hut.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Baba Yaga's dwelling is a hut on chicken legs.</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/babayaga/Hut_2.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>This is what a hut on chicken legs could really be like.</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>The best embodied the image of Baba Yaga in feature films was Soviet actor Georgy Frantsevich Milyar.</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/babayaga/Milyar.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Georgy Milyar</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>His most famous role - Baba Yaga - he played in Alexander Rowe's movie \"Vasilisa the Beautiful\". On it tried many actresses, including Faina Ranevskaya. But the director refused to all: he was afraid that Baba Yaga in their performance will not be scary enough, will not scare the audience. Then she volunteered to play Milyar: \"It is not a female role. Tell me, what actress will allow to make herself so scary on the screen? And I'll bear it all.\"</p>\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/babayaga/BabaYaga_3.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Georgy Milyar as Baba Yaga.</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>The artist carefully prepared for the role of Baba Yaga. He watched how to move and talk to older women. Milyar recalled: \"Abundant material gave me a neighbor in the communal room. Character she was terrible, squabbling, she had to be sure someone to quarrel.\" Imitated the actor and one old lady, which he saw in Yalta.</p>\n\n<p>The role of Baba Yaga glorified Milyar. After \"Vasilisa the Beautiful\" he played this character several times in other movies-fairy tales Rowe. The actor called Baba Yaga his favorite hero.</p>\n\n<p>After the role of Baba Yaga Georgi Milyaru began to offer only negative characters. The actor wrote: \"I work in the field of fairy tales, I represent all the unclean force in the Soviet cinema\".</p>\n\n<p>You can watch the movie \"Vasilisa the Beautiful\" here:</p>\n\n<p>\n <embed src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Gzr794xxtDg?si=h_Nozi0-W2Vwkm7P\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\">\n</p>\n\n<p>And now about pleasant things, about prizes!

The grass was greener, the sun was brighter, and the girls were prettier. And mysteries were much scarier and more mysterious. So, when I was a teenager I got my hands on the magazine “Around the World” for April 1974 (this is the <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20141024141009/http://www.vokrugsveta.ru/vs/article/5056/\">article</a> from my childhood). It had an article called “The Extraordinary Story of Oak Island.” It was the most amazing treasure story I had ever read in my life. In my opinion, it was even better than R.L. Stevenson's Treasure Island story.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Island_mystery\">The Mystery of Oak Island</a> is a series of stories and legends about buried treasure and unexplained objects found on or near Oak Island in Nova Scotia. Since the 18th century, attempts have been made to find treasure and artifacts. Hypotheses about artifacts present on the island range from pirate treasure to Shakespearean manuscripts to the Holy Grail or Ark of the Covenant, with the Grail and Ark having been buried there by the Knights Templar. Over the years, various items have been discovered on the island, some of which have since turned hundreds of years old. While these items may be considered treasure in themselves, no significant main treasure location has ever been found. Excavations have been conducted by numerous individuals and groups of people. The original mine, the location of which is unknown today, was dug by the first explorers and is known as the “money pit.”</p>\n\n<p>And now for the fun part, the prizes!

A jazz standard - most often a popular song, less often an instrumental piece - is used by a jazz musician as the basis for individual or ensemble arrangements, in a spontaneous music-making setting or in a recording studio.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>Jazz standards, these are tunes that everyone knows and that have become classics of jazz music. Let's take a look at one of the jazz standards, the composition Now's the Time by Charlie Parker.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>Charlie Parker is one of the few musicians who radically influenced the development of jazz, the greatest saxophonist of all time. Together with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and pianist Bud Powell, Parker (nicknamed Yardbird or Bird) is considered the pioneer of bebop. As a performer, Parker possessed a unique sound, an unusually developed harmonic ear and an amazing phraseological logic. In the 50s of the last century it was already impossible to play modern jazz without taking into account Parker's achievements.</p>\n\n \n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src = \"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/jazz_standards/Portrait_of_Charlie_Parker_in_1947.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Portrait of Charlie Parker in 1947</figcaption>\n</figure>\n \n\n<p>Now's the Time. The theme was written in 1945. It is a blues based on simple repetitive riffs. Parker decided to use a simple intonation pattern that was always favored by musicians in his hometown, Kansas City. The first recording featured trumpeter Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie (playing piano), and double bassist Curley Russell and drummer Max Roach. So let's listen to the jazz standard Now's the Time.</p>\n\n \n\n<video src=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryNtmkfeJk4\" controls></video>\n\n<embed src=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryNtmkfeJk4\" width=480 height=270></embed>\n\n<p>\n If you can't see the video on the page use this\n <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryNtmkfeJk4\">link</a> to access it.\n</p>\n \n\n<p>There will be no scandals, intrigue or investigations at this tournament.

This event was a huge three-day celebration, a triumph of Russian literature, which at that time was beginning to gain world recognition. Klyuchevsky, Turgenev, Aksakov... But the main sensation was Dostoevsky's Pushkin speech, which was the will of the writer, who died six months later.</p>\n\n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Boldinskaya_Autumn/Pushkin_monument.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Monument to Alexander Pushkin by Alexander Opekushin in Moscow.</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n\n<p>Dostoevsky began his speech with a quotation from Gogol, who half a century earlier had called Pushkin \"an extraordinary and perhaps the only phenomenon of the Russian spirit\", \"the Russian man in his development, as he may appear in two hundred years\". Dostoevsky called Pushkin also the phenomenon of prophetic and spoke not only and not even so much about the poet himself, but about the future destiny of Russia. The idea that the character of an entire nation can be judged by the work of one (even if brilliant) poet, did not seem strange or surprising to anyone. On the contrary, by the second half of the XIX century, it had already managed to gain general recognition. And Russian literature was felt by everyone as the main national treasure and the center of the spiritual life of the entire nation.</p>\n\n \n\n<p>A few words about one of the most vivid periods in the work of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin - the Boldino Autumn.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September 1830, 193 years ago, Alexander Sergeevich came to the Nizhny Novgorod village of Boldino. Here he wrote the last two chapters of \"Eugene Onegin\", putting an end to the main novel of his life, to which he gave more than seven years. And in another three months he composed the poem \"A House in Kolomna\", \"Little Tragedies\" (\"Don Juan\", \"The Miserly Knight\", \"Mozart and Salieri\", \"A Feast during the Plague\"); \"Belkin's Tales\" (\"The Shot\", \"The Blizzard\", \"The undertaker\", \"The Station Keeper\", \"The Peasant Girl\"), \"The Tale of the Popes and his Worker Balda\", \"The Story of the Village of Goryukhin\", \"Besy\" and three dozen more poems, literary articles ...</p>\n\n\n<p>Such a creative explosion of world literature does not know more. It is not without reason that the Boldin Autumn is called the pride and mystery of national and world culture, a mystery imbued with magic, witchcraft power.</p>\n\n \n\n<figure class = \"pic\">\n <img src=\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Boldinskaya_Autumn/Boldinskaya_Autumn.jpg\" width=500>\n <figcaption>Yevgeny Mukovnin's painting \"Pushkin in Boldino\".</figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n \n\n<p>Friends, October is coming, the autumn season!
