Released by Columbia in 1959, alongside such other landmark albums as Miles Davis's \u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e and Charles Mingus's \u003cem\u003eMingus Ah Um\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTime Out \u003c\/em\u003ebecame one of the first jazz albums to be certified platinum, while its featured track, \"Take Five,\" became the best-selling jazz single of the twentieth century, surpassing one million copies. In addition to its commercial successes, the album is widely recognized as a pioneering endeavor into the use of odd meters in jazz. With its opening track \"Blue Rondo à la Turk\" written in 9\/8, its hit single \"Take Five\" in 5\/4, and equally innovative uses of the more common 3\/4 and 4\/4 meters on other tracks, \u003cem\u003eTime Out \u003c\/em\u003ehas played an important role in the development of modern jazz. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, author Stephen A. Crist draws on nearly fifteen years of archival research to offer the most thorough examination to date of this seminal jazz album. Supplementing his research with interviews with key individuals, including Brubeck's widow Iola and daughter Catherine, as well as interviews conducted with Brubeck himself prior to his passing in 2012, Crist paints a complete picture of the album's origins, creation, and legacy. Couching careful analysis of each of the album's seven tracks within historical and cultural contexts, he offers fascinating insights into the composition and development of some of the album's best-known tunes. From Brubeck's 1958 State Department-sponsored tour, during which he first encountered the Turkish \u003cem\u003eaksak \u003c\/em\u003erhythms that would form the basis of \"Blue Rondo à la Turk,\" to the backstage jam session that planted the seeds for \"Take Five,\" Crist sheds an exciting new light on one of the most significant albums in jazz history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen A.
