iTunes Review
Dave Brubeck had already built a sizable audience for his experimental work with various time signatures like 7/4 and 9/8, but Time Out became his classic work and an album that both jazz hipsters and the general public embraced. As important as Brubeck was in the quartet's overall sound, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond is a seminal figure in adding a fluid, melodic polish to Brubeck's sometimes over-reaching piano work. The opening notes of the lead track "Blue Rondo À la Turk" kick things into the "cool jazz" stratosphere, and the album has a constant ebb and flow that makes it one of the most memorable of the modern-jazz era. Other standouts include Desmond's and drummer Joe Morello's killer solos on "Take Five," and Dave's playing on "Three to Get Ready."

Timeless and Brilliant and Fun Too
by California is DreamingI first heard this some 25 years ago, and it was love at first hearing. Featuring one of jazz's all time best known compositions, Take Five, a wonderful kind of musical dialogue between Brubeck and alto sax player, Paul Desmond (who wrote the piece), the entire recording - with such standout cuts as Blue Rondo A La Turk, Kathy's Waltz, and Pick Up Sticks - evokes a kind of brainy, moody 1950s world of cool. It's a world I want to go to from time to time, and this classic of cool jazz is just the ticket there. Years later, Brubeck and his talented sons would play some fine music together; however, here is the place to hear this legendary figure as a young turk, and his tight, talented quartet, as they produce a recording which still sounds fresh.
Best album ever
by Aaron1234567Just Absolutly Amazing
Great Moment In Jazz
by basslikeawhalePaul Desmond on alto, Brubeck, et al, play some of the most beautiful and inspiring pieces in jazz. These tunes don't hit you light lightning, but it's hard not to immediately see their muse-like quality. I like Anthony Braxton and all of his playful, austere and bounlessly free explorations, and he cites Desmond time and again as one of his major influences. I absolutely love Desmond's alto on this album. He seems to me as though he were a srange meadow lark himself.
