Time Out
Description
Cited as one of the 2 largest selling jazz albums of all
time (Kind of Blue being the other), this record made “Take Five” the most
recognizable of jazz tunes and Dave Brubeck a household name. Remixed and
remastered from the original 3-track master tapes for enormously improved
sound, this definitive reissue is full of rare and previously undiscovered
photos of the great quartet (Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on alto sax,
Eugene Wright on bass and Joe Morello on drums) in action. Boasting
the first jazz instrumental to sell a million copies, the Paul Desmond-penned
“Take Five,” Time Out captures the celebrated jazz quartet at the height of
both its popularity and its powers. Recorded in 1959, the album combines
superb performances by pianist Brubeck, alto saxophonist Desmond, drummer Joe
Morrello and bassist Gene Wright. Along with “Take Five,” the album features
another one of the group’s signature compositions, “Blue Rondo a la Turk.”
Though influenced by the West Coast-cool school, Brubeck’s greatest interest
and contribution to jazz was the use of irregular meters in composition, which
he did with great flair. Much of the band’s appeal is due to Desmond, whose
airy tone and fluid attack often carried the band’s already strong
performances to another level. Together, he and Brubeck proved one of the most
potent pairings of the era. –Fred Goodman
