Free Music Notes for Time Out
Free Music Review: MUST HAVE JAZZ CD
Hit: 5 Stars
Dave Brubeck's Time Out is a great classic whose appeal has stood and will continue to stand the test of time. I'm not a jazz afficionado or hep cat, but I dig all the tunes from this 1959 release, just as I already did those of Miles Davis' all-time classic from the same year, Kind of Blue.
In my opinion, Time Out and Kind of Blue are the essential jazz releases. You can build your jazz collection to complement them, but you cannot truly add anything in terms of quality.
Time Out is a most pleasant work for those who have had a stressful day. A mellow yet upbeat pace is prevalent throughout, as was well commercialized and publicized in the million-selling single off the album, Take Five.
A few years ago, I reviewed Elvis Presley's Back in Memphis as one very soulful and relaxing CD. On a parallel note, I can assure you that Time Out is unequivocally a very soothing and jazzy contribution to the world of music.
Free Music Review: A must-have jazz cd
Hit: 5 Stars
If you want to build your jazz collection from the start, this must be one of your first cd's, along with Miles' Kind Of Blue. It's instantly accessible, for those whoe are jazz-phobic, however, it stands the test of sonic-time, as it still sounds fresh almost 50 years later. Free Music Review: Caution: Format
Hit: 1 Stars
I know this album very well since I have the original which was released in the early 60s, but I don't want to play it and accelerate it's deterioration. In my current state of techno ignorance, however, I did not realize this format (SACD) was not compatible with my CD player. I will definitely buy the correct format CD of this album since it is a unique and classic example of that era's jazz and an overall wonderful performance by an outstanding artist.Free Music Review: Time in on Time out
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a jazz standard that should be in every collection.
There are the songs you know that are very good of course, but the ones you don't know are equally as good if not better.
Free Music Review: Listening to this on the way to hear Dave Brubeck last night
Hit: 5 Stars
Dave Brubeck was in Houston for a concert last night, and we were listening to this album on the way there. A classic album, a classic artist. Though there was no Paul Desmond at the concert, it was fantastic to finally get to hear Dave in person.
It's hard to pick a favorite tune from this album, as they are all wonderful to listen to. "Take Five", the main hit from this album, sounds great on this remastered version, and it sounded amazing as his 85 year old hands tickled the ivories at the concert. Bobby Militello filled in well and amply for Paul Desmond on sax at the performance, by the way.
In addition to "Take Five" and "Blue Rondo A La Turk", I also enjoy "Kathy's Waltz" and "Everybody's Jumpin'", with the Sax lead opening and Dave's piano answering, and the following exchange and counter point.
Also, if you have not heard any of Dave Brubeck's choral arrangements, I would highly recommend them. They were played last night with the Dave Brubeck quartet, the Houston Chamber Choir and a brass section. Simply amazing. You can find them on his albums "The Gates of Justice" and "To Hope".
