Time Out album Product Description
Time Out album by Dave Brubeck / Dave Quartet Brubeck was released Feb 22, 2011 on the Hallmark label. Dave Brubeck's TIME OUT ranks alongside Miles Davis' KIND OF BLUE as one of the few advanced jazz masterpieces to achieve great commercial success. In fact, the widespread popularity of TIME OUT, with its cool-toned ambience, smooth style, and elements borrowed from classical music, helped make modern jazz a mainstream phenomenon. Time Out CD music The ubiquitous "Take Five" may be overplayed, but that doesn't diminish the joy of its complex melodic hooks, its perfectly executed solos, or the swinging slink of its 5/4 signature. "Blue Rondo a la Turk" collages Mozart, cool swing, and Brubeck's own classically oriented piano style, and the airy, delicate "Everybody's Jumpin'" showcases the lyrical splendor of saxophonist Paul Desmond Time Out music CDs.

Indeed, CBS chief Goddard Leiberson often stated that he took something of a chance in agreeing to release it and initial reviews were not entirely complimentary. Slowly but surely, however, Time Out picked up support, mainly from the buying public, who propelled the album to the #2 spot in the US and subsequently onto becoming the best selling Jazz album of the year. Its UK performance was a rather more modest single week at #11, but 'Take Five' reached the Top 10 when lifted as a single. Recorded at Columbia 30th Street Studios, New York, New York on June 25, July 1 & August 18, 1959. Includes liner notes by Dave Brubeck and Steve Race.

Down Beat (p. 61) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Both 'Kathy's Waltz' and 'Strange Meadow Lark' contain melodies and moods that keep one hearing new things time and again..." ...See Full Description

| Great Recording Must have! By info (Switzerland)  This review is for a different format. |
| Timeless recording BUT... It seems that the engineers decided to leave the original master tapes as originally recorded, therefore, on a high-resolution system you can hear the tape hiss - disappointing. Also, this is a stereo SACD, not multi-channel. By vk2ilo (Sydney Suburbs, Australia)  This review is for a different format. |
