About Time Out
Amazon.com 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 Product 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.
