Amazon.co.uk Review
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

No.1 Jazz Record quite possibly ever, 2010-02-14
For those of you who have not listened to Dave Brubeck and his quartet - you have been seriously missing out. The musicianship, intelligence and pure joy on this record is awe-inspiring.
Dave Brubeck is quite possibly the most talented jazz musician of the 20th century. To listen to his piano playing is just....wonderful. Wonderful, wonderful stuff.
KJ Past revisited, 2009-10-17
I was very lucky to have seen The Quartet live just after they made this record. I dont pretend to know all the technical nuances. I just know that listening an watching The Dave Brubeck quartet always makes me feel good, they really swing on the up beat numbers and their slower pieces seem to always create a wonderful mood for the moment. For me though the Quartet without Paul Desmond is not the same. Another record by the original Quartet that is hardly ever mentioned, that for me was as good as Time Out if not better was Southern Scene. Get it I can assure you you will not be disappointed.
an excellent jazz album, 2009-10-18
i heard the track take 5 at my brothers funeral and relised that i'd heard this track many years ago excellent sample of jazz at it's best
One of the greatest Jazz recordings of all time, 2009-11-24
As hard as it is to live up to the hype, "Time Out", like Miles's "Kind of Blue" or Cannonball Adderley's "Something Else" is a real 24 carat masterpiece. The stand-out track of course, is Paul Desmond's marvellous "Take Five" which, with its wonderful meandering wistfulness, once heard can never be forgotten. Yet all the tracks, with their various time signatures, swing hard and leave you feeling happy and relaxed. The quartet made many other great recordings but for impact and longevity this one takes some beating.
THE standard by which many others are judged, 2010-02-18
Ladies and Gentleman, this is music.
Not only a masterclass in musicianship and song writing, this is a demonstration of audio recording that has to be heard to be believed. Recorded in 1959 apparently, well you could have fooled me, 'Time Out' sounds fresher and more vibrant than a majority of albums i have bought in the past decade. You can hear the breath on the reed of the Sax, the timbre of the cymbals, the crisp snap of stick on snare, the buzz of the bass string... you get the picture. You can also hear some hiss from the original tapes but this simple adds further to the atmosphere that this album strongly carries. Fortunate enough to have grown up in an era when vinyl was still a mainstream format, when listening to this CD, i can picture in my mind the evocative image of the original LP spinning round on the turntable.
Now available for the price of a CD single or a rare download, this remastered edition of the album is an absolute no brainer purchase, and is worth the price of entry alone for the albums most well known track Take Five. It is the most well known track for a reason, it is a masterpiece that still sounds fresh over 50 years after its original release. The linear notes describe musical time, experimental timing ideas and complex rhythm changes to break the trad jazz template of 4\4 time, and it would be far too easy to repeat these notes and appear to be knowledgeable but i won't. Whilst it is nice to know these things, this information is not strictly necessary to appreciate and understand this album. If you want modern reference points, well by listening to this album many a modern pop piano artist are revealed to simply be pale imitators of the art. On this record you can hear the influence and roots of James brown and his flavour of Funk, the House music keyboard sound, the list goes on.
If you are new to the genre of Jazz, then 'Time Out' alongside 'Mingus Ah Um', 'Kind of Blue' and 'Something Else' is a good place to start, and quickly becomes a clear benchmark by which others are judged (as are the others). Time Out is achingly cool because it wasn't trying to be, sublimely recorded and if ever an album deserved the title of a classic or indeed dare I say it a masterpiece, this has to be it.
Enjoy.
