THE DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET – Time Out (Reissue with 2 Bonus Tracks) – LP – 180g Vinyl

LP – Limited Edition 180g Vinyl featuring the complete LP + 2 bonus tracks.

Dave Brubeck‘s essential masterpiece and one of the true best-sellers in jazz history, Time Out became such an enormous success it took the world by surprise, including the members of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, featuring Paul Desmond, Eugene Wright, and Joe Morello.

The quartet took the challenge to experiment with musical forms foreign to jazz. Whilst they had experimented 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 bestselling jazz albums of all time. Includes the classic hit “Take Five“.

“Dave Brubeck’s defining masterpiece, Time Out is one of the most rhythmically innovative albums in jazz history, the first to consciously explore time signatures outside of the standard 4/4 beat or 3/4 waltz time. This belongs in even the most rudimentary jazz collection.” – Steve Huey, ***** AllMusic
