Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out.

摘要

1959 was a watershed year in jazz recording, as several seminal albums were released nwithin months of one another: Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, nOrnette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz to Come, Charles Mingus’ Mingus AH UM, and nthe recording under consideration here, Dave Brubeck’s Time Out. Some have called this nyear the onset of contemporary jazz, rendering all that came before it “historical” and nbeing the foundation for all of the jazz that is still being produced. All of these recordings nhave maintained an infuence over the subsequent history of jazz, and both Kind of Blue nand Time Out have also enjoyed tremendous commercial success.
