Take Five

Synopsis

Jay is a guitarist...well, a bass guitarist. He was even kicked out of the house by his father for having signed up to a music high school without telling him. But he's missing something, his music just feels bland. One day, he starts to understand when he hears the Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Take Five" and meets three eccentric characters: a drummer, a pianist, and a trumpet player. With their help, Jay starts to understand that music is never as beautiful as when it's played in a band, and that a musician can never be above his own art. It's the beginning of an epic journey for Jay, an internal voyage beyond even music itself. (Source: Editions Milan, translated)
