That album included "Take Five," which is in 5/4 time and has become one of the landmark jazz songs of the last century. His quartet's 1959 album Time Out was the first ever million-selling jazz album. 6, 1920, Brubeck grew up in California AllMusic writes that he developed a following by playing unusual time signatures with "adventurous tonalities." Brubeck, who has released more than 50 albums, became the first modern jazz musician (and second jazz musician ever) to be pictured on the cover of Time magazine in 1954.
Thank you for enhancing my life.Legendary jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck, who wrote immortal songs such as "Take Five" and "Blue Rondo a la Turk," died Wednesday morning of heart failure at Norwalk Hospital, one day before his 92nd birthday. RIP Dave you will be sorely missed by so many. Sorry to rave on about this legend of jazz but this has to be the very time to revel in his glorious style and life. I am so sad that I never did get to see the Dave Brubeck Quartet live unlike the lucky uptheos and samjaidee above. Oh of course I love Take Five too as we all do, but it is second to the amazing Blue Rondo for me, though absolutely still a truly awesome hypnotic 5/4 time signature jazz track with Paul Desmond at his very best.

If you like the style and music of Take Five and have not got in your collection, or even heard, this truly classic "Time Out" jazz album, then go get it or download it today as I really doubt that you will regret it. I will have to blow off the cobwebs and give that album another play as a way of paying tribute to Dave Brubeck and rekindling the great pleasure and musical fulfilment that he always gave to me and millions of others.
The Time Out album is packed with all awesome tracks including of course Take Five, Three To Get Ready, and Kathy's Waltz which are clear in my memories. Paul Desmond's as always beautiful sax alongside Dave's piano demanding attention makes this track just wonderful, and all held in place by Joe Morello's awesome stylish and technically brilliant drumming and of course Eugene Wright's smooth double bass. My favourite Brubeck track is without doubt Blue Rondo a la Turk which is musically a brilliant composition following true sonata form classical lines and with a stunning switching to and fro of two differing time signatures the standard 4/4/ and the pulsating 9/8 theme, and those two rhythms do battle with each other with the 9/8 finally winning ans closing the long track. For example, I can remember "Unsquare Dance" as a hit single in the 60's and of course the massive hit "Take Five" itself. Indeed he did have other top twenty records out too which was unusual for modern jazz records back then. I actually think most of us who grew up in the 50s and 60s and were heavily into the music of the time will know, love and remember many of Dave Brubeck's tracks and by name too. Just looked it up and the Take Five album was recorded way back in 1959 when I was just 14 and I remember buying that album not long after it's release and playing it repeatedly for weeks and weeks, must have driven my parents mad.

Oh dear such very sad upsetting news indeed.ĭave Brubeck got me heavily into Modern Jazz back in the late 50's and early 60s and I too brought that Time Out album back then, and indeed I think I still have it in my old vinyl collection as well as on a lovely crystal clear click free CD of course.
