TIME OUTTAKES
PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TAKES FROM THE ORIGINAL 1959 SESSIONS
“While researching books written to celebrate jazz legend Dave Brubeck's Centennial, a fascinating discovery was made; there were brilliant alternate takes for most of the tunes released on Time Out, the first jazz LP to sell over a million copies… These newly discovered recordings feature wonderful performances that are every bit as compelling as their famous counterparts!”
- Chris Brubeck
Dave Brubeck (1920-2012), designated a "Living Legend" by The Library of Congress, was one of the most active and popular musicians in both the jazz and classical worlds. Brubeck's career spanned more than six decades, and his experiments in odd time signatures, improvised counterpoint, polyrhythm and polytonality remain hallmarks of innovation.
Now the mysteries are solved with the historic release of Time Outtakes (alternative takes to the masterpiece that blew the hinges off the doors of jazz). Listeners have the high privilege of being able to be in the studio with the quartet as they innovate using 9/8, 5/4 and two bars of 3/4 alternating with two bars of 4/4 on such classics as "Blue Rondo a la Turk" and "Three to Get Ready." All listeners of Time Outtakes will experience the Cold War era jazz revolution as it unfolded. What joyous music for the ages!
