Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out (+2 Bonus Tracks)

The fact that Time Out became such a
huge success took the world by surprise,
including the members of the Dave
Brubeck Quartet. By 1959, the group with
Paul Desmond had been in existence for
nearly a decade and it was highly popular
among jazz audiences. Most of the songs
were composed by Brubeck, as is the
case on the album Time Out. However,
one of the most catchy melodies on that
album, "Take Five", was a Paul Desmond
composition, and it would become the
quartet's most celebrated tune. While
they experimented, one way or another,
on many of their previous albums, none
of them had such an ambitious concept
as Time Out, which only presented tunes
written in unusual time signatures. It was
impossible to predict that such an unusual
idea would lead to one of the best-selling
jazz albums of all time.
