Description
The 1959 album Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet revolutionized the sound of jazz and American music. Brubeck's innovative approach to meter, harmony, and even the incorporation of Turkish rhythms ultimately led to his appearance on the cover of Time Magazine, marking him as the first jazz musician to achieve this honor. The composition "Take Five" by saxophonist Paul Desmond became the first jazz instrumental single to sell a million copies on the Billboard Hot 100. This folio commemorates the 50th anniversary of the album, featuring full-color artwork from the original record and a 10-page essay by jazz historian Ted Gioia. All seven pieces from this landmark recording have been meticulously arranged for Easy Piano. Titles include: Blue Rondo à la Turk * Strange Meadow Lark * Take Five * Three to Get Ready * Kathy's Waltz * Everybody's Jumpin' * Pick Up Sticks.
