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.
The Essential Dave Brubeck--a two-disc set--is additionally notable
for the man who selected all of its material: Dave Brubeck. The 31
tracks draw from 24 albums, spanning 53 years (1949-2002). There
are studio and live recordings, groundbreaking performances
(Brubeck leading his early quartets, which helped set the tone for
West Coast cool), solo piano items, and many examples of his
importance as a composer (including, among other things, the
lilting "In Your Own Sweet Way" and the harmonically challenging
"The Duke.") Plus there are special guest cameos by Tony Bennett,
Carmen McRae, Jimmy Rushing, Gerry Mulligan--and jazz's once and
future king, Louis Armstrong.
