TIME OUT/VINYLE COULEUR AUDIOPHILE 180GR

Description

With: Dave Brubeck (piano), Paul Desmond (alto sax), Eugene Wright (bass), Joe Morello (drums).
Just like "Kind Of Blue" by Miles Davis, the great work of the Dave Brubeck Quartet has not lost its power of fascination. More than sixty years after its creation, this album that almost never saw the light of day (its record label was skeptical!) and which at the time sparked a controversy that might make one smile today – jazz or not really jazz? – resembles a "best of," a flawless LP, a small monument of sound perfection (the alto saxophone of Paul Desmond!), of rhythmic rigor all in flexibility (the complex and luminous combinations of bassist Eugene Wright and drummer Joe Morello), and of an incredible melodic richness: these unforgettable themes, Dave Brubeck and his alter ego Paul Desmond seem to draw them on a canvas. Each note is like a stroke of color, skillfully distilled, subtly hypnotic, ideally conceived. "Time Out" has opened the doors of jazz perception to millions of people, and it is not about to stop.
