The Dave Brubeck Quartet 2 Vinyl LP Album
Gone With The Wind and Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, originally released in 1959. It's a compilation of two iconic albums, with Time Out being particularly notable for its use of unusual time signatures and the hit single Take Five. The album is considered a jazz masterpiece and a cornerstone of any jazz collection. Here's a breakdown of what makes it special:Innovative Rhythms:Time Out is known for its exploration of time signatures outside of the standard 4/4, such as 5/4 in Take Five and 9/8 in Blue Rondo a la Turk. This was a risky move at the time but proved to be incredibly hot. Commercial Success:It was the first jazz album to sell over a million copies and reached number 2 on the Billboard pop charts. Take Five was the first jazz instrumental to sell a million copies. Key Tracks:Besides Take Five and Blue Rondo a la Turk, the album features other notable songs such as Strange Meadow Lark, Three to Get Ready, and Kathy's Waltz.
