DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET - TIME OUT 50TH ANNIVERSARY LEGACY EDITION (2CD + DVD)

Dave Brubeck Quartet Time Out 50th Anniversary Legacy Edition On 2CD + DVD

With Dave Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on alto saxophone, bassist Eugene Wright, and drummer Joe Morello, Time Out is one of the best-loved records in jazz. Upon its release, the LP reached number two in the U.S charts and stayed there for more than three years, becoming the first jazz album to sell a million copies. “Take Five”, with its 5/4 rhythm, became an instrumental jazz staple and a surprise radio hit, entering the record books as the first million-selling jazz instrumental single on the Billboard Hot 100. “Blue Rondo à la Turk” also became an instant classic.
 
This 50th Anniversary Legacy Edition of Time Out features the original album, fully re-mastered from the original analog master tapes, plus a second CD of previously unreleased recordings from the Newport Jazz Festival 1961-1964 cut from recently unearthed tapes of the shows, and rare photos, correspondence and clippings including a typed, signed description by Paul Desmond of his composition "Take Five." In addition to the two audio CDs, the set comes with a 30 minute previously unreleased documentary featuring recent interviews with Dave Brubeck (seen illustrating selections from Time Out at the piano) and extensive historic performance footage.

“Creating a ‘hit’ out of the odd-meter experiments of Time Out was the farthest thing from our minds!”
- Dave Brubeck
