Product description

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 folio 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 collectable folio.

Dave Brubeck (born David Warren Brubeck) (1920-2012) was an American jazz pianist and composer. He is considered a leading representative of "Cool Jazz". In many of the pieces he wrote or played, he experimented with unusual bars, e.g. Take Five (5/4), Pick Up Sticks (6/4), Unsquare Dance (7/4), Blue Rondo à la Turk (9/8) ...... Along with Paul Desmond, Joe Morell and Eugene Wright, they formed the very popular The Dave Brubeck Quartet of their time.

Paul Desmond (1924 -1977) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. He was a member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet and composed for this jazz quartet's their biggest hit "Take Five". He also collaborated with other world jazz giants such as Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Jim Hall, Ed Bickert and others...
