About
Join us as we revisit one of the top 4 best selling jazz albums of all time, the iconic “Time Out” album by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, released in 1959 on Columbia Records,. Recorded at Columbia’s 30th Street Studio in New York City, it is based upon the use of time signatures that were unusual for jazz such as 9/8 and 5/4. The album is a subtle blend of cool and West Coast jazz.
“TAKE FIVE” is one of the most popular jazz composition ever and was composed by the group’s saxophonist Paul Desmond, and the one track not written by Dave Brubeck. “Take Five” became at Top 40 hit single and the “Time Out” album peaked at #2 on the Billboard pop albums chart, and has been certified platinum by the RIAA, the first jazz album to ever achieve that status.
