Also, "Kathy's Waltz" (named after Brubeck's daughter but spelled with a "K" instead of "C" as is his daughter's name) has been recorded and performed by symphony orchestras. "Three To Get Ready" was a hit in France as "Jazz et Java" sung by Claude Nougaro, who also had a hit with "A Bout de Scouffle" (Brubeck's "Blue Rondo A La Turk"). Time Out was an experiment by the Quartet in odd rhythms, and some of the other melodies have had a surprising and diverse history. Time Out's booklet also features fantastic photos shot during the recording session at Columbia's famous 30th Street Studios (supplied by Sony). And the accompanying booklet is definitive in its own right, giving listeners a glimpse inside the creative process via a liner written by Dave Brubeck and a note from "Take Five," composer and the quartet's alto saxophonist, Paul Desmond. Hybrid SACDs are designed to play in both CD and SACD players, as well as all SACD-compatible DVD players. Why definitive? The Quartet's signature sound paired with SACD technology goes together beautifully. And now, Analogue Productions brings you the definitive copy, on Hybrid SACD. Including the monster hit "Take Five," the Brubeck Quartet's Time Out is a jazz and audiophile classic. Virtually all serious and even casual music lovers ought to be familiar with, or at least are likely to have heard The Dave Brubeck Quartet, even without realizing it - for the quartet's best-known hit "Take Five" has graced the soundtracks of multiple films, including "Mighty Aphrodite," "Pleasantville" and "Constantine." SACD booklet includes rare photos from the Columbia Studios recording session, as well as an additional liner written by pianist Brubeck himself.

The penultimate tracks gives Joe Morello a chance to really do his stuff: “For Drummers Only.” And of course the quartet had to close out with biggest hit: “Take Five.” They don’t seem the least bit jaded by surely having to do this one every single night-it swings like mad, has a number of variations on the usual version (Dave going Middle Eastern on one part), and things are rounded off in a spectacular fashion. Dave quotes a bit of “Lullaby of the Leaves” in the midst of his solo here. The unexpected “Swanee River” comes after the introduction of the quartet’s members at the beginning of the second set (second disc). In one of the Mexican tours the quartet learned the folk song “The Blue Dove,” (La Paloma) which they do here, and the closer on the first set-”Someday My Prince Will Come”-is a major piece of work, which stayed in the quartet’s prime repertory for many years. When the quartet toured the world, Dave often picked up ethnic tunes from the environment-just as Ellington and others had done before him. I recall Dave inserting the Air Force song into what he was playing when planes frequently took off from the airport close to the Monterey Jazz Festival, and here on “Three to Get Ready” he inserts some of “The 12 Days of Christmas” since this was being taped at Christmas time. Though nearly everything had gone to stereo by this late date (stereodiscs had hit the market in 1958) this recording is just mono, and not quite as good sound as the three other commercial releases made from this final tour. The Brubeck Archives (at the pianist’s home) has had this live recording all along, and it reveals all four musicians at their top form in this last opportunity to play together. Columbia had done a studio session for the occasion the same month, but was never released due to not having much interesting in it. On December 26, 1967, the classic Brubeck Quartet gave its last concert as a group in Pittsburgh.
