So I bought a copy from Amazon for Ulises -- and an extra to keep on hand for the next time someone asks for a jazz recommendation. My Mexican friend Ulises is interested in learning more about jazz music and asked me what's some good jazz music he might listen to.At first, I recommended Miles Davis (and I still do).But after thinking about it some more, I had to put Brubeck's "Time Out." at the top of my list. It's the epitome of 'cool jazz' and my all-time favorite.
GENIUS accessible to us all thanks to the composer & ensemble. make beautiful mincemeat of traditional time signatures and produce AMAZING MUSIC. VERY possibly the best (no vocals) jazz album ever created. Brubeck & Co.
product was fine did not try the cd but service was excellent. bought this as a gift for a friend.
I have loved it since I bought the vinyl in 1963.In fact, music lovers in general will probably like it. No jazz lover should be without this.
You will quite surprised.This is a classic album that is without a doubt recommended, not just by me, but the other 171 people who gave it 5-stars. I would challenge anyone who's interested in this quartet to explore his other work with Paul Desmond. Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Time Out" is a classic jazz recording and anyone who appreciates jazz needs this gem in their collection.The year 1959 proved to a big year for jazz having produced many of the genre's most important releases like Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue," Charles Mingus' "Mingus Ah Um," Bill Evans' "Portrait In Jazz," and John Coltrane's "Giant Steps." This year also proved that the Dave Brubeck Quartet were force to be reckoned with.Employing odd time signatures and ethnic timbres not widely used in jazz at the time, "Time Out" proved to be a groundbreaking success. To Columbia Record's surprise "Time Out" spawned a hit single "Take Five" and it was ranked #2 on the Billboard charts.All of the elements that made this group great are in place on "Time Out," but it is my strong opinion that they made plenty of records that were just as good as this one.
