• The original classic album “Time Out” (1959) in its entirety. One of the best selling jazz albums of all time, it included the original versions of two of the group’s best known pieces: “Take Five” and “Blue Rondo à la Turk”.

• In addition, Essential Jazz Classics have included the complete album “Brubeck Time” (1954) which was the first Brubeck LP recorded in the studio (its title derives from his portrait on the cover of Time magazine).

• The fact that “Time Out” became such a huge success took the musicians themselves by surprise. The quartet’s previous albums had been popular, but none of them had achieved equivalent success. Most of the material was composed by Brubeck himself, but “Take Five”, which would become the quartet’s most celebrated piece, was a Paul Desmond composition.

• Personnel : Paul Desmond alto sax; Dave Brubeck piano; Eugene Wright bass; Joe Morello drums - New York, June 25, July 1 & August 18, 1959. On “Brubeck Time”, same personnel except Bob Bates (bass) replaces Wright and Joe Dodge (drums) replaces Morello - New York, October 12-14 & November 10, 1954.

• Total Time: 78:32 - 15 tracks - Includes 20 page booklet.

Reviews

Jazz Journal - Mike Rogers

I just loved it all and was especially taken by Morello's subtle drums. A great value CD this.
