Virtually all serious and even casual music lovers ought to be familiar with, or at least are likely to have heard The Dave Brubeck Quartet, even without realizing it – for the quartet’s best-known hit “Take Five” has graced the soundtracks of multiple films, including “Mighty Aphrodite,” “Pleasantville” and “Constantine.”
This Time Out comes from the same remastering done for the earlier Classic Records single-sided 45rpm release, which Bernie Grundman cut from the three-channel master tapes. Analogue Productions has also released a hybrid SACD from the same source, and its stereo program is the near equal of this LP, only a half-tick behind in terms of transient definition and bass bloom. The multichannel program of this SACD is identical to that of the earlier Columbia release, so you won’t want to buy it just for that. Buy it instead because it’s the best digital version of this important album currently available, and given the quality of the pressings, that goes double for analog 45rpm LPs. – Audiobeat
The album was intended as an experiment using musical styles Brubeck discovered abroad while on a United States Department of State-sponsored tour of Eurasia. In Turkey, he observed a group of street musicians performing a traditional Turkish folk song that was played in 9/8 time, a rare meter for Western music.

Paul Desmond, who was Brubeck’s alto saxophonist, wrote “Take Five,” at Brubeck’s urging to try and write a song in quintuple (5/4) time.
