Dave Brubeck's Time Out ranks among the most popular, successful,
and influential jazz albums of all time. Released by Columbia in
1959 alongside such other landmark albums as Miles Davis's Kind of
Blue and Charles Mingus's Mingus Ah Um, Time Out became the one of
the first jazz albums to be certified platinum, while its featured
track, "Take Five," became the best-selling jazz single of the
twentieth century, surpassing one million copies. In addition to
its commercial successes, the album is widely recognized as a
pioneering endeavor into the use of odd meters in jazz. With its
opening track, "Blue Rondo a la Turk" written in 9/8, its hit
single "Take Five" in 5/4, and equally innovative uses of the more
common 3/4 and 4/4 meters on other tracks, Time Out has played an
important role in the development of modern jazz. In this book,
author Stephen A. Crist draws on nearly fifteen years of archival
research to offer the most thorough examination to date of this
seminal jazz album. Supplementing his research with interviews with
key individuals, including Brubeck's widow Iola and daughter
Catherine, as well as interviews conducted with Brubeck himself
prior to his passing in 2012, Crist paints a complete picture of
the album's origins, creation, and legacy. Couching careful
analysis of each of the album's seven tracks within historical and
cultural contexts, he offers fascinating insights into the
composition and development of some of the albums best known tunes.
From Brubeck's 1958 State Department-sponsored tour, during which
he first encountered the Turkish aksak rhythms that would form the
basis of "Blue Rondo a la Turk," to the backstage jam session that
planted the seeds for "Take Five," Crist sheds an exciting new
light on one of the most significant albums in jazz history.
