Time Out: The Dave Brubeck Quartet: Easy Piano

More about the book

The Dave Brubeck Quartets 1959 album Time Out changed the sound of jazz and American music. Brubecks experimentation with meter, harmony and even Turkish rhythms eventually earned him the cover of Time Magazine; the first jazz musician to achieve such a feat. Saxophonist Paul Desmonds composition Take Five went on to become the first million-selling jazz instrumental single on the Billboard Hot 100. This folio celebrates the albums 50th anniversary with full-color artwork from the original record, and a 10 page write-up from jazz historian Ted Gioia. All seven compositions from the monumental recording just as Brubeck played them - are featured in this collectable folio. Titles: Blue Rondo à la Turk * Strange Meadow Lark * Take Five * Three to Get Ready * Kathys Waltz * Everybodys Jumpin * Pick Up Sticks.
