Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0074646512265 Edition: Requires SACD-compatible hardware Format: SACD, Original recording remastered Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: November 16, 1999 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Boasting the first jazz instrumental to sell a million copies, the Paul Desmond-penned "Take Five," Time Out captures the celebrated jazz quartet at the height of both its popularity and its powers. Recorded in 1959, the album combines superb performances by pianist Brubeck, alto saxophonist Desmond, drummer Joe Morrello and bassist Gene Wright. Along with "Take Five," the album features another one of the group's signature compositions, "Blue Rondo a la Turk." Though influenced by the West Coast-cool school, Brubeck's greatest interest and contribution to jazz was the use of irregular meters in composition, which he did with great flair. Much of the band's appeal is due to Desmond, whose airy tone and fluid attack often carried the band's already strong performances to another level. Together, he and Brubeck proved one of the most potent pairings of the era. --Fred Goodman Album Details: Limited Millennium Edition.
