THE DAVE DRUBECK QUARTET - TIME OUT



http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AS2EHP1HL._SS500_.jpg



One of the most celebrated, influential and imitated albums in music history, The Dave Brubeck Quartet – Time Out (1959) 
sold well, set new directions for the Jazz genre, proved to be a cross over into the music world that was being dominated 
by the first wave of Rock and was a fresh revelation all the way down to what has become one of the greatest pieces of 
album cover art ever made.  

Then the music is just terrific track after track. 
 
Of course, Take Five is the huge hit that went 
on to exceed its Top 25 peak at the time and has been heard (and still is heard) all over the place, becoming one of the 
most successful Jazz songs and instrumental songs ever recorded.  
 
Sometimes, a higher format will reveal flaws, but not 
much here.  Except for some range limits because of the levels music was recorded at the time, this is amazing and even 
vinyl purists will be surprised.  
 
For the record, Mr. Brubeck played piano, Paul Desmond was alto saxophone, Joe Morella 
played drums and Eugene Wright played bass.  In some ways, this became a precursor to the 1960s and was still much a 
product of the 1950s, but times were changing and Time Out was ahead of its time then and now.  This SA-CD only proves 
that further.

This album would certainly have to be 
put in the list of top-five jazz albums of all time. The unique Blend of Paul Desmond's lyrical alto-sax playing coupled with 
Brubeck's time-signature bending piano still sound as fresh and as timeless as it did upon initial release.
