THE DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET – Time Out (Waxtime Ed.) – LP – Orange Vinyl

LP – Orange 180 Gram Vinyl Reissue

Part of the Jean-Pierre Leloir 180 gram vinyl Collection, Time Out, released in 1959, was an unusual album from the start. While most tunes in occidental popular music are in 4/4, alternating with the 3/4 waltz form here and there, Time Out was devoted to rhythms that had never been previously heard in jazz. Most of the songs were composed by Brubeck himself. However, one of the most catchy melodies, Take Five, was a Paul Desmond composition, and it would become the quartets most celebrated tune. Dave Brubecks defining masterpiece, Time Out is one of the most rhythmically innovative albums in jazz history, wrote Steve Huey in All Music Guide, giving the album five stars.
