Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet's 1959 album Time Out changed the sound of jazz and American music. Brubeck's experimentation with meter, harmony, and even Turkish rhythms eventually earned him the cover of Time Magazine - the first jazz musician to achieve such a feat. Saxophonist Paul Desmond's composition Take Five went on to become the first million-selling jazz instrumental single on the Billboard Hot 100. This collection celebrates the album's 50th anniversary with full-color artwork from the original record and a 10-page write-up from jazz historian Ted Gioia. All seven compositions from the monumental recording - just as Brubeck played them - are featured in this collectible folio. Titles: Blue Rondo a la Turk; Strange Meadow Lark; Take Five; Three to Get Ready; Kathy's Waltz; Everybody's Jumpin' and Pick Up Sticks.
