![]() ![]() The lead single from the album, " Take Five", a tune written by Desmond in 5Ĥ time, similarly became the highest-selling jazz single of all time. Despite its esoteric theme and contrarian time signatures, Time Out became Brubeck's highest-selling album, and the first jazz album to sell over one million copies. Department of State-sponsored tour in 1958 featuring the band inspired several of Brubeck's subsequent albums, most notably the 1959 album Time Out. This lineup, in addition to Brubeck, featured saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright and drummer Joe Morello. The most successful-and prolific-lineup of the quartet was the one between 19. In 1951, Brubeck formed the Dave Brubeck Quartet, which kept its name despite shifting personnel. Within the US Army, Brubeck formed one of the first racially diverse bands. Often regarded as a foremost exponent of cool jazz, Brubeck's work is characterized by unusual time signatures and superimposing contrasting rhythms, meters, and tonalities.īorn in Concord, California, Brubeck was drafted into the US Army, but was spared from combat service when a Red Cross show he had played at became a hit. David Warren Brubeck ( / ˈ b r uː b ɛ k/ Decem– December 5, 2012) was an American jazz pianist and composer.

I’ll update if I get any details.:ĭave Brubeck Quartet Time Out 50th Anniversary Legacy Edition Track Listingġ. Here is the track listing with some session information I found at the excelent I haven’t found any place that indicates which Newport Jazz Festival shows the songs are from. I will pick this up because I’m interested to see the interview with Brubeck (who turned 88 last December) and I don’t have the remastered version of Time Out. Unfortunately this is nothing like the Kind of Blueĥ0th anniversary box with the 180g blue vinyl, the CD, DVD and book that they did last year. No press release, no mention of the release at the Sony Legacy website (at least at the time of this writing)! So, while it might be nice that they are doing a new packaging of the release, they don’t bother to promote it.Īt first glance this really looks like a way for Sony to cash in on the 50th Anniversary of this release. I spent time today trying to find any information on this release other than the paltry little bit that the online retailers have and was not successful. The unreleased Newport recordings are a nice touch, I suppose but makes the release not worth much more than the 1997 remaster except for the third disc in the release which is a DVD with an interview with Dave Brubeck on Time Out as well as some photographs and an “interactive piano demonstration” (who knows what this is?). So, sadly, no unreleased session outtakes for this release. According to this posting on the Down Beat website, the second disc is made up of previously unreleased performances from The Newport Jazz festival from 1961-1964. It has the distinction of having a single that reached the Top 5 on the Adult Contemporary chart– “Take Five” composed by band member Paul Desmond.Ģ009 is the 50th Anniversary of Time Out, and to celebrate the occasion Sony Legacy is re-releasing it’s 1997 compact disc remaster of the album on May 26th. Frankly, it is a lot of people’s favorite jazz release– it is one of the best selling jazz albums ever (next to Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue also produced by Teo Macero). I have this release on compact disc (not the remaster) and a couple copies on vinyl. One of my all time favorite jazz records is the 1959 Columbia release Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. ![]()
