- Time Out is a jazz album by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, released in 1959 on Columbia Records, catalogue CS 8192.
- 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.
- It 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.
- Time Out was the first jazz album to sell more than a million copies.
- The single "Take Five" also sold more than a million.
- In 2005, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
- It was also listed in the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".
- Dave Brubeck's defining masterpiece, Time Out is one of the most rhythmically innovative albums in jazz history, the first to consciously explore time signatures outside of the standard 4/4 beat or 3/4 waltz time.
- It was a risky move -- Brubeck's record company wasn't keen on releasing such an arty project, and many critics initially roasted him for tampering with jazz's rhythmic foundation.
- But for once, public taste was more advanced than that of the critics.
- Buoyed by a hit single in altoist Paul Desmond's ubiquitous "Take Five," Time Out became an unexpectedly huge success, and still ranks as one of the most popular jazz albums ever.
- That's a testament to Brubeck and Desmond's abilities as composers, because Time Out is full of challenges both subtle and overt -- it's just that they're not jarring.
- Brubeck's classic "Blue Rondo à la Turk" blends jazz with classical form and Turkish folk rhythms, while "Take Five," despite its overexposure, really is a masterpiece; listen to how well Desmond's solo phrasing fits the 5/4 meter, and how much Joe Morello's drum solo bends time without getting lost.
- The other selections are richly melodic as well, and even when the meters are even, the group sets up shifting polyrhythmic counterpoints that nod to African and Eastern musics.
- Take Five doesn't just sound sophisticated -- it really is sophisticated music, which lends itself to cerebral appreciation, yet never stops swinging.
- Countless other musicians built on its pioneering experiments, yet it's amazingly accessible for all its advanced thinking, a rare feat in any art form.
- This belongs in even the most rudimentary jazz collection.
- Few jazz recordings from the LP era have enjoyed the enduring popularity of the Dave Brubeck Quartet’s Time Out.
- A brisk seller when released in 1959, it has remained in print ever since, and sold enough copies to be certified platinum.
- That was a great year for jazz -- Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue and Charles Mingus’s Mingus Ah Um were also released in 1959.
- All three were produced by Teo Macero, engineered by Fred Plaut, and released by Columbia Records.
