Time OutTakes is previously unreleased takes from the original 1959 ses- sions master tapes – never before released!

“Time OutTakes features 7 tracks that have never been heard before. These newly discovered recordings feature wonderful performances that are every bit as compelling as those on the original Time Out. We discovered that during the original 1959 sessions the Quartet also recorded ‘I’m In A Dancing Mood’ and an unlisted trio jam with a major drum solo that included snatches of the melody from ‘Watusi Drums’.

Two tracks from Time Out, ‘Pick Up Sticks’ and ‘Everybody’s Jumpin’, were achieved in one take so no alternates exist to include here. These 7 new per- formances (and bonus track) are fascinating finds.” Chris Brubeck, musician/ composer and son of Dave Brubeck

“We’ve all heard Dave Brubeck’s Time Out- but never quite like this. You’ll hear Dave Brubeck’s signature pieces afresh and anew. Listening to this album will make you rediscover why you fell in love with The Dave Brubeck Quartet featur- ing Paul Desmond, Joe Morello and Eugene Wright. This is mesmerising music.” Kabir Sehgal, Grammy Award Winning Producer.

“Once the Dave Brubeck Quartet released Time Out in 1959, the world of jazz was never the same. Every note of the seven original compositions soared with wild originality and trained musical genius. ‘Take Five’ became the bestselling jazz single of the 20th century. I’ve often wondered how this work of genius came to fruition in the studio. How did Brubeck develop such chemistry with alto-saxophonist Paul Desmond? Now the mysteries are solved with the his- toric release of Time OutTakes (alternative takes to the masterpiece that blew the hinges off the doors of jazz).

What a high privilege it is to be able to be in the studio with the quartet as they innovate using 9/8, 5/4 and 2 bars of 3/4 alternating with 2 bars of 4/4 on such classics as ‘Blue Ronda 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!” Douglas Brinkley, CNN historian and Grammy Award winning jazz producer.
