The fact that Time Out became such a huge success took the world by surprise, including the members of the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
By 1959, the group with Paul Desmond (the bass player and the drummer changed a few times until Joe Morello arrived in 1956 and Eugene Wright joined the group in 1958/59) had been in existence for nearly a decade and it was highly popular among jazz audiences.
Most of the songs were composed by Brubeck, as is the case on the album Time Out. However, one of the most catchy melodies on that album, “Take Five”, was a Paul Desmond composition, and it would become the quartet’s most celebrated tune.
While they experimented, one way or another, on many of their previous albums, none of them had such an ambitious concept as Time Out, which only presented tunes written in unusual time signatures. It was impossible to predict that such an idea would lead to one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time.
