From MAJOR KEYS, the label devoted to lovingly reissuing top-shelf jazz classics, comes a single release of THE DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET's "Take Five" — one of the masterpieces of the "golden age of modern jazz" spanning the mid-1950s to the early '60s! Its odd meter (5/4) creates a bewitching sense of displacement in a tune that will be talked about forever.
A 12-inch reissue of "Take Five" (sample1), the signature tune from "Time Out" (1959), one of the finest albums in the history of modal jazz, crafted by California-born pianist DAVE BRUBECK and alto saxophonist PAUL DESMOND! Swinging drums, that irregular meter, and PAUL DESMOND's sultry sax playing — a classic everyone has heard at least once. The flip carries "Blue Rondo A La Turk" (sample2), an experimental jazz piece built on an additive rhythm repeating 3+3+3 within the bar! Don't miss this one.
