The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Musical Group

An American jazz quartet led by pianist Dave Brubeck; the classic lineup included Paul Desmond (alto sax), Eugene Wright (bass) and Joe Morello (drums). Best known for the 1959 album Time Out and the track "Take Five."

Time Out was released in 1959. "Take Five" was composed by Paul Desmond. The classic quartet personnel (Brubeck, Desmond, Wright, Morello) is noted in the provided review and is a verifiable lineup associated with recordings from that era.

The supplied review praises the 1959 album Time Out for its rhythmic inventiveness and melodic grace. It highlights tracks such as "Blue Rondo à la Turk" and "Take Five" and lauds the quartet's musicianship. The review emphasizes lightness, humility and the historical significance of the recording.

For:Jazz listeners and musicians interested in rhythm, 1950s jazz and classic quartet interplay.

 This is the album that contains the original version of the famous "Take Five", composed by the saxophonist Desmond, and which well represents the (successful) attempt of the entire work, as suggested by the title: a collection of exercises on "difficult" and uncommon rhythms, yet able to preserve the melodicity and spontaneity of an inspired work, not contrived.
