December 14, 1959 – a historic date: On this day, “Time Out” was released on Columbia Records, recorded by Dave Brubeck (piano) in a quartet formation – with Paul Desmond (alto saxophone), Eugene Wright (bass) and Joe Morello (drums) – between May 25 and August 18, 1959, at Columbia 30th Street Studios in New York. Columbia was less than enthusiastic about the results of the recording sessions. This was also reflected in the opinion of critics at the time, who saw “Time Out” as a betrayal of jazz. Of course, this did not detract from the album's success: in 1961, the title track, composed by Paul Desmond, made it to the top of the pop charts. The song, played in 5/4 time, was the first jazz record to sell more than a million copies. The album became a definitive milestone in the genre – even though Brubeck and his bandmates had ventured away from the classic 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures and actively tried out new things. To put it bluntly: the album is really good, even though so many people like it!
AudioNautes now pays tribute to this classic with a sonically outstanding, strictly numbered and limited edition UHQCD. The AAD remaster is taken from a copy of the original stereo master.
