Time Out

what an absolutely pleasant and easy going album! upon reflection, with the various jazz albums on this list, i understand why the dave brubeck quartet's time out was included. among the instruments, the piano and the saxophone stood out the most. the sax could be so beautiful, like nothing could ever top it, and then the piano charmingly shimmies into the song. not mad about this delightful album one bit.

Thanks to the guy first introduces me to this band

slick

A ton of classics on this one...great easy listening music. 3.5/5

Finger snapping toe tapping Jazz start to finish.

9/10

Very easy listening.

This was good and easy to get into

Cool Jazz. Take Five is a classic. Hard to not like this if you like jazz.

Love blue rondo, but sometimes the jazz is a bit too slow for me. Cool jazz.

Classic bop with some timeless tunes.

Very good jazz album! A couple of songs that are classics for a reason. I love all of the influences you can hear, and I challenge you to listen to this if you think that jazz is boring.

Jazz legend Dave Brubeck and his quartet - nothing surprising, but always great to listen to.

Amazing jazz album

Classic Cool Jazz album from the 1950s, very smooth and pleasant compositions with unusual time signatures. Take Five is obviously the most well known song on the album but the other songs are also great. It was a fun listen.

Classic. Brilliant. I’m not a jazz fan but this is the best.

just some classic cool jazz. props to Dave for using weird time signatures. you already know the highlight.

A jazzy classic for a reason the backbone of this has to be the iconic Take Five. I think everyone at some point in their lives has heard that track. If you haven’t then you should. It’s a peak example of 1950s jazz.

A great Cool Jazz album. I'd only listened to Take Five before, but now I can see why this work is on the list. Great tunes, not tedious songs. It keeps it cool. Great album!

I forgot how much I enjoy jazz

Take Five is such a great song!

Not usually going out of my way to listen to jazz but it's always good to hear such influential music. The usage of different time signatures is really neat. The opener, Blue Rondo à la Turk, has some of the more interesting bits for me and is the highlight of the album for me. Strange Meadow Lark is super chilled out, the kind of music you listen next to a fireplace with a robe and a glass of bourbon while it rains outside. I have DEFINITELY heard Take Five somewhere before. Such a smooth piece, I can see why it's seen as massively influential in the history of music. Excellent solo work by Paul Desmond on the saxophone and Joe Morello on the drums.

many memorable songs

Interesting but a bit too different to my tastes for me to come back to.

Not all the tracks on this are equally brilliant, but it's a great album nonetheless.

Very enjoyable jazz album. I was always a big fan of the Peanuts soundtrack so this reminds me of it. Definitely will explore more of this group.

Very nice.

Catchy, melodic, well performed. Very accessible yet enjoyable music.

I like this album

It's good. But is it really jazz?

The first song and Take Five are both fantastic and, while there is interesting stuff going on elsewhere, it doesn’t quite reach those heights again. It’s also a relatively emotionless project - there isn’t any passion or intensity in a lot of the playing, which makes it difficult to feel too strongly about it. Now the negatives are out of the way: it’s a very fun album. The concept is simple but executed perfectly, and the complex time signatures sound natural in the context of the songs rather than just feeling like they’re irregular for the sake of it

Needed this for Friday. A friend had passed and this was from his timeline... Appreciated jazz so he did. Goodnight Bunkey. May the Angels of Jazz play thee to thy rest

OK, look. I can barely keep common time. I don't know what the fuck a mode is or why a song becomes a standard. What I do know is that these guys sound damn cool on this recording. The melodies are pretty and the compositions are vaguely classical to my ear. It's nice. I like it.

Not sure if this is considered the ultimate jazz album or not. Well it’s gotta be close. Great vibe and chill listening. Hard to add just one to the playlist because it’s amazing as a whole, but will add “Take Five.” Great album, solid 4!

Good jazz

Oye, este disco estuvo muy bueno

Classique

Take five carina Resto buon Album di jazz d’ambiente

Classic jazz, as pure jazz as it gets

East listening

Really enjoyed. Uplifting and nice to have on in the background.

I really just love jazz and this is some of the best I’ve heard in a while. It’s like NPR jazz hour but in my living room.

Ok

Very easy to slide into and move to the beat. Strong, flowing rhythm. Overall this album is fun, light, smooth, and perfect for chilling out and being calm.

dave brubeck doesn't miss, also take 5 is an all-time classic.

Very good music just not something I’d listen to

The 2nd Jazz album I ever listened to in full (Kind of Blue was first), this is an undeniable classic and while it has become considered more traditional, Side A of this record is untouchable in its quality. After having listened to a lot of jazz since I first heard it, Side B is a bit more pedestrian and didn't hold my attention the same way as the first 3 tracks. As to import and influence, this gets a 5, but for this exercise of my enjoyment and listenability, I'm docking the score slightly for Side B. But 4.5 is still damn good.

I am a newbie when it comes to jazz and I realize that the albums I like in the genre tend to lean more towards vocal jazz as I'm usually a lyric person. But not knowing much about how groundbreaking this was in its time, I like this; it makes me feel a bit like I'm in a fancy hotel in a Christmas movie. ...Also I think the upright bass might be my favorite instrument. Out of context and historical significance I'd give this a 3.5/5.

One of my go-to jazz albums. Excellent, but just falls short of five stars.

Brubeck is one of those artists that you either really like, or can't stand. Either way, he loves his oddball time signatures.

Fav song: Take Five

Just easy listening smooth jazz. Makes me wish I were sitting back with a cocktail.

I really enjoyed how catchy this was for jazz. The play on time signatures while having the repetitive motifs made it far more engaging for jazz for someone not as familiar with the genre.

Pretty nice sounding jazz album. Maybe I just like it cuz Im not much into jazz yet tho

Još jedan jako kvalitetan jazz album iz '59. <3

Fun, lax and iconic jazz.

Completely approachable, dynamic, timeless

Je connais pas beaucoup de chansons de jazz, et là-dessus y'en avait 2 que je connais bien!

4.5

No surprise that it became commercially successful. Not because it employed unconventional time signatures but because it is a jazz album that knows how to weave pleasing tunes. Chill, easy to digest, and complex, it's another jazz album that I genuinely like.

Nice 4/5

Love it

Not a big fan of Jazz, but this album was actually quite good. 4/5

Classics

Turns out I think I like jazz! This was great

A classic in the jazz genre. This album has some great songs and is enjoyable. Take five is a classic jazz song. I’m not the most well versed in jazz technical terms but this album seems to be a cut above and different than some typical jazz band albums. 8.0/10

8/10

Did you know that it's called Take Five because it's in 5/4

Een heel rustgevend jazzalbum.

credits aan dries voor take five

The first huge commercial success of jazz music in the 50s and also one of the most innovative albums of that period.

Chill jazz

light jazz...its nice.

Some seminal cool Jazz from Dave and his mates, mixed up with a bunch of funky time signatures. Goes perfectly with an early morning coffee or a late night wee dram. However, I still have PTSD from having to play ‘Take Five’ for my grade 5 Alto Saxophone exam…

Not the best album to try and work to but a great album for the morning while you’re eating cereal and attempting a crossword. Even better if the cereal is jazz-appropriate e.g bran flakes or muesli. Probably doesn’t pair well with coco pops.

Surprisingly good, I'm not a jazz person normally but this album was pleasant to listen to. Rondo... and Take 5 are both great tracks

Day 6. October 29th. Really nice. Enjoying the odd time signatures. This might be the first jazz album I've gotten through while still being entertained all throughout. Will be a repeat listen.

very cool very smooth

Really enjoyed it

Not available to listen to so rated on knowledge of GSH's work.

i liked it!!

Although I don't know anything about music theory, I definitely noticed the"odd" times signatures of this album, that gave it that distinctive, neo-classical sound, that I really liked.

It’s good. Like it was made in the 50s and it’s jazz. But it’s not my type of music. Something I would occasionally listen to if I feel like it.

First track was insane. Want to take a lot from it. Take Five obv a classic

Timeless classic.

Jazz is hard to judge when you're not that into it. But this is pretty good.

this is good.

Take 5 is such a great tune. Pick up sticks is super cool. I love the bass ostinato that repeats through out. Kinda of a hypnotic feeling loop after awhile. Brubeck does some really cool rhythmic stuff in his solo.

good jazz album. Take five and blue rondo are classics. I love Paul desmonds playing, they get into some cool grooves 3.5

Take Five I knew, the rest are similarly excellent. Great alto sax tone, groovy album!

great old time jazz that actually carries themes throughout most of the piece.

3.5 / 5

Very good jazz album, it was a nice listen... Nothing out of the ordinary but still really solid! Would need more listen to truly grade I guess but I loved the listen session so 4/5

album de qualité

Some would say this an entry level jazz album. A lot of cool moments

1959. Take Five, Blue Rondo à la Turk

I thought this was already in my record collection and was mad at myself when I realized I didn’t.

everybody taking everything for a walk and i'm just sitting here enjoying it Jazzmatazz

Yuh

I didn't realize how many iconic Jazz songs were all on this same album. It's not Miles Davis or John Coltrane but this is a great jazz album. Very enjoyable stuff

Overall I'm not really a big Jazz fan, but this was a very enjoyable album. I had heard a couple of the songs before (Take Five, Blue Rondo) but I certainly couldn't have named them or who the artist was. I would listen to this in the background, or perhaps play it at a cocktail party.

Nice music to wake up to. Don’t have many reference points here but these are obviously skilled musicians.

Great jazz - enjoyed it.

Just classic and vintage. The playing is so good and the odd time signatures (which have been overemphasized) simply don't get in the way of anyone's pleasure.

Loved it! Great instrumental Jazz.

I was groovin’

Super skilled by most musicians in this album. Makes me wanna watch Whiplash. No lyrics which could piss people off but if you like fluidly and musicians playing off each other this album is for you.

Just a joy to listen to The quartet creates such full and vibrant music The instruments interact in such a fun way The reediness of the sax is perfect Blue Rondo a la Turk builds to a beautiful climax for an awesome start to the album It's nearly impossible to count time for any of these songs without a guide I had to play Take 5 in high school band and never thought about it again until today I couldn't play it like Paul Desmond tho

A strong jazz album. Unusual time signatures. Sparse bright production. Happy summery tunes.. Take Five and Blue Rondo are ace.. Hard to go wrong really.

I enjoyed this. I listened to it this morning on my drive to work, thinking about how pleasing it is to the senses. This album is comfy, if that makes sense. I really don’t listen to a lot of jazz so I’m not sure if I’d listen to this again, but it was extremely pleasant today.

4.25

Jazz is hit and miss with me. Some of it is enjoyably thematic and evocative (Duke Ellington's "Caravan" and Teddy Wilson's "Jungle Love" spring to mind), some of it is meandering, and some is just plan abstract. I prefer the former to the latter two. Unfortunately for me, Brubek's "Time Out" leans toward the meandering. "Take Five" is rightfully a classic, and "Kathy's Waltz" had a jaunty energy that I enjoyed, but the rest of the album just doesn't push my buttons. That said, the talent displayed on the album is undeniable, and I can't bring myself to give it any less than four stars, despite my personal jazz proclivities.

Some nice smooth jazz. This is always a pleasure to listen to.

I'm not a jazz guy by any means (unless you count my obsession with watching old episodes of the Colgate Comedy Hour with legends such as Paul Bufano, Tiny "Boop Squigg" Shorterly, and Roy Donk) but I really liked this. I was expecting something much less listenable, but this was sort of a cosmic gumbo that moved to the beat of jazz. 4 stars.

You know, I normally reject saxophones, but the saxophone was so gently played. I was not only able to listen with ease, surely helped by the lush and light supporting band, but also felt a story from it. What art in volume! I was also relieved to experience something other than rock

The music apple for itself.

Listened to on 8/1/22 4/5 Favorite song: Kathy’s Waltz I love instrumental music and this quartet did not disappoint. The music was easy to listen to but not boring and was a wonderful work accompaniment

Ääääääääääääääääälskar jizz

Really good

A funny album. Lots of unusual odd time signatures that show that a song doesn't necessarily have to be in 4/4. (8/10) FT: Blue Rondo à la Turk, Take Five

Great 1st track

Smooooooooth. Niiice! Grrrreat Schmoking! Mmmm, nice. Wonderful! Suuuuuperb.

This is jazz music I really like, great music to work to. Blue Rondo and Take Five are bangers as well.

Without Take Five no one would have ever heard of David Brubeck, and it's the only song on the album not written by him - Paul Desmond created the famous melody only to set up a drum solo. It's easy to see why critics panned the LP - it doesn't swing with it's weird tempo and sounds very European for a West Coast group. Brubeck's piano playing can be a bit clunky at times but Paul Desmond's alto brings it all together nicely. The overall sound is pretty cool and the fact that the LP contains the most recognizable jazz song of all times is worth a bonus point.

I think the single Take Five was the song that first got me into Jazz, many years ago. This is one of my favourite jazz albums and is arguably one of the most influential ever, its right up there with Kind of Blue and Giant Steps. Incorporating some unusual time signatures and crack playing by Brubeck, Desmond and Morello it has really stood the test of time and it still sounds fresh today.

A thoroughly enjoyable and accessible classic jazz album from the incredible late 1950s era. Particularly notable for its technical experimentation whilst maintaining a melodious and “popular” feel. Brilliant!

A pretty flawless record. Very enjoyable and easy to listen to, though has enough variation to keep it interesting and the listener engaged. Definitely a good jazz trip.

4,5

backgroubd music

A lesson in humility for me. I was ready to pan this album on the first track (be be be dodedo, tooot , bebadap bob - well that's what is sounded like to me) Second track caught my attention and then the famous third - Take That Landed up enjoying all of it. Not my go to, but will go back

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be (not usually a fan of 50s jazz of this sort, but maybe I've made too quick a judgement!) and I may well explore more. And I really like the album cover.

Exactly what I expected it to be. Great album to start a morning off.

Very cool, I sent a link to my kiddo when I saw the mention about time signatures and they really enjoyed the album too. Time Out is such a classic and Blue Rondo à la Turk really kicks it off nicely.

No idea how to review jazz. But this very a very nice listen throughout. Very easy listening.

Jazz that has weird time signatures and goes all over the place yet it is accessible - and some of the tunes are smooth. Best Tracks: Blue Rondo A La Turk; Strange Meadow Lark; Take Five

Some nice easy-listening jazz. Title track is really nice. Also like Three to Get Ready

I actually enjoyed this quite a lot. The type of soothing music I needed at the end of a long day.

Added to jazz playlist

Vooral jazz behoorlijk goed te pruimen. Wel gekke namen hebben de liedjes, zoals ‘blue rondo a la Turk’

Very peppy- good jazz

Excellent

Freaky time signature fun with more familiar melodies than you'd initially realise. Huge, ground-breaking, accessible, creative, almost classical.

I thought I hated jazz

Super melodic and perfectly executed white man nerd jazz. Not the real deal, but still enjoyable when you want some safe jazz.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet (1959) When I was about seven years old, on Sunday afternoons, my dad would sit in the living room smoking a cigar (when my mom would let him), listening to this album on his beloved console stereo, which I, of course, was not allowed to touch. That prohibition, of course, increased the allure. His non-rock but otherwise eclectic tastes included Ravel’s Bolero (which my mom hated), Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass’ Whipped Cream and Other Delights (with its titillatingly innovative cover art), Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison, and Glenn Miller’s Army Air Force Band (on five vinyl LPs, which made me decide to take up trombone in fourth grade). Young people today will likely have only heard the two ‘hits’ from Time Out (“Blue Rondo à la Turk” and “Take Five”) in hotel lobbies. Shame. There is so much good music on this record. Jazz purists were not pleased with the popularity of this album. They noted that while this was Dave Brubeck’s most accessible work, it was not his best. And of course they were right, but this album is a wonderful place to start if you’re unfamiliar with jazz, mostly for its creative variations in rhythm. The opening “Blue Rondo à la Turk” is a tour de force in rhythmic experimentation, starting with a ‘Balkan’ 9/8 (2+2+2+3), alternating with standard 4/4 passages for piano and saxophone solos. And the wistful “Strange Meadow Lark” seems somehow destined to be included in a soundtrack for a Woody Allen movie. The third track “Take Five” is iconic for its hypnotic, syncopated piano foundation, languid saxophone melody and 5/4 time signature. You can almost dance to it, although I’d stay away from steps like foxtrot or waltz or chacha or polka or, well, basically anything standard. Just stand there snapping your finger and bobbing hither and yon. Your partner (optional) will join in improvisationally. The point is, it swings (although I’d pay good money to watch a beer hall full of polka dancers working out “Take Five” by adding an extra foot stomp after every other 2/4 measure. Maybe a Monty Python sketch?). But seriously, Joe Morello’s superb drum solo passage on this song (the whole point of it, really) goes a long way toward explaining the appeal of John Bonham’s solo work (“Moby Dick” on Led Zeppelin II, and elsewhere). You see, the reason we liked John Bonham is because he (and we) had already heard and learned from Joe Morello, whether consciously or not. The next track “Three to Get Ready”, plays with an alteration between 3/4 and 4/4 (don’t even try dancing to this one) and is followed by “Kathy’s Waltz”, which starts in 4/4, shifts to 3/4, and at about the three minute mark, we hear 3/4 and 4/4 simultaneously. If you hear strains of The Beatles’ “All My Lovin’”in this song (and you will), please remember that Dave Brubeck did it first. The last two tracks (“Everybody’s Jumpin’” and “Pick Up Sticks”) lack the intricacy of contemporaneous progressive jazz, but will nudge the beginner in the right direction. This album is a great jazz introduction for youngsters and great nostalgia for oldsters. 4/5

Lovely bit of piano jazz

Smooth

Easy listening. Fun. Happy. i prefer songs with lyrics, but this is great mood music.

Non ho mai ascoltato Jazz senza un cantante, credo, e mi piace! Ma 'Take five' è famosissima! E bellissima! 4 stelle, ma quasi 5

Some really good, recognizable cool jazz. Would pop this on to relax.

So smooth, really enjoyed this.

This is that kind of jazz album that is nice to listen to one time per year and remember why we have all this buzz around jazz music style. It's easy to understand with albums like that. Reading the Wikipedia page, it turns even more special, with the different times' explanation. The extended version of the album with live recordings is for sure a 5 star. The original one is too short for it, but it's still a gem.

great

Good album, love Take 5

Oh, this is that song! Take Five! How did I not know the name of this song? Anyway, I enjoyed this enough that I didn't even stop it when it dove into the bonus tracks, which there were more of than original album tracks. It was in the background and it wasn't. This one got into my ears pretty good.

Jakos nic mi nie mowil tytul, ale juz na pierwszym traku cos mi switalo w glowie, ze slyszalem to gdzies, a po trzecim juz bylem tego pewny i last fmowa baza danych nie klamala, ostatni raz sluchano w 2k16, wiec w moim najbardziej odkrywczym jazzowo okresie, Time Out z 59 jest nietypowym klasykiem coolowego jazzu, bopu, czy west costowego jazzowania, w zaleznosci jakich kategorii segregujacych styl ktos przyjmie, a nietypowosc pochodzi przede wszystkim z niespotykanymi w jazzie czy muzyce rozrywkowej sygnaturami, inspirowanymi wycieczkami pana Brubecka po turko krajach, jak sam tytul openingowego trakaa wskazuje, w sklad kwartetu poza Davem Bruceckiem na pianinie, wchodzili jeszcze Paul Desmond na saksie, basista Eugene Wright i Joe Morello z drumsami, glownym kompozytorem byl oczywiscie pan Dave, ale najbardziej popularny trak z krazka, ktory pozwolil mi przypomniec sobie gdzie to juz slyszlem, czyli take five jest autorstwa Desmonda, ciekawy lore, ze na lozu smierci przekazal on prawa autorskie na rzecz czerwonego krzyza, a jako ze utwor nadal cieszy sie popuarnoscia przynosza one zyski, klawiatura odmawia wspolpracy, ale musze przyznac, ze jest to jeden z najlepiej rozpisanych wikiowo jazzowych albumow jakie guglowalem, kazdy song rozbity na czesci, w ktorym wyszczegolnione co i jak gra, wiec nawet laik muzyczny moze sie dowiedziec skad bierze sie tak orginalne brzmienie, ktore najprosciej mozna okreslic jako bass scalajacy licytacje pianinowo saksowe, ktore czesto po sobie nastepuja, nie zabraklo takze miejsca na drumowe solo, ktore jest kluczowym elementem take five, ktory laduje na plejce razem z blue rondo a la turk

Aaah kuinka smoothia jazzia! Olen vaikuttunut. Pitää kuunnella lisää!

Great album. Rinkle Tinkle piano keys.

Good fun - a super solid jazz album - not as good as some other contemporaries - but the inclusion of ‘Take Five’ among the track listing makes it an inevitable classic

Fantastic

Classic that hides its time signature innovations in plain sight. "Take 5" still sounds as fresh as ever. Could be a Paul Desmond album.

While this is certainly not a preferred genre of music for me, I feel like I can appreciate talent, and these musicians are clearly talented! If you like this style, it probably doesn't get much better.

This was my introduction to jazz when I was younger. I loved it then, and I still love it now. Take Five is about as quintessential a jazz song (and album) as it comes. All around brilliance.

Surprised to learned one song was a sample for a song from today

dope

Cool jazz, skøre tidsindstillinger, lækkert

This was the first jazz album to sell a million copies you know, and Take Five even made the singles pop charts.. It's great. In the background. But just lacks a little, you know, something. Important, but not significant.

take 5 halt klassiker - ist dave brubeck eig nur so unverhältnismäßig erfolgreich, weil er weiß ist und bürgis dann guten gewissens jazz hören können? - klassiker halt, gut als hintergrundmusik

Take Five and Everybody's Jumping are my favorites, the rest felt like background music, not in a bad way though

Not for me.

Liked it!!!

Mahtava! Menis monta kertaa putkeen, mut piti kahen jälkeen lakata ku jonoa kertyny. Suosikkeihin

I rarely listen to jazz but even I can tell this is something special.

"Blue Rondo a la Turk" right off the bat is known from a bunch of movies but "Take Five" is excellent and a Jazz staple. 8/10.

A jazz album that I actually enjoyed. Take Five the best track

Time Out is widely revered in the jazz world. It is essential cool jazz, but known for pushing jazz in new directions, such as it's use of odd time signatures. This was inspired by Brubeck's time overseas, where he would hear the locals play in time signatures different from the 4/4 that became the norm in western jazz. Moving on, the highlight of this album is easily Take Five, which features a bombastic drum solo from Morello while Brubeck plays the same hypnotizing bar over and over again. It's a display of jazz musicianship unlike any other.

A really solid jazz album. This is one that I feel like I would listen to while investing the death a young up and coming movie starlet in 1950's L.A. I for sure have a drinking and smoking problem, but God damnit I'm good at my job.

Really fun. This is jazz you've heard before on soundtracks, but it is lovely to listen to again

great jazz

4/5 nice jazz record!

My first thought was "slick" but I just don't understand jazz enough to truly appreciate this album. I was surprised at how many listens Take Five had and so I read up on the album. It's basically a national treasure. I guess I don't know music like I thought. It sounds like what any live jazz performance aspires to be (from what I've seen)...really, I wonder if this sound is what jazz musicians are aiming for when they play.

Sounds fantastic, complex rhythms and cool grooves.

Take Five is a classic that I love. The other songs were very interesting listens as well.

Such simple instrumentation with complex melodies. I love this jazz album and that’s coming from a trumpet player who loves brass. This is a staple in an jazz household but also to anyone who doesn’t like jazz, give this one a try.

good stuff

jazz!

Creo que sería el primer disco de jazz que le haría escuchar a alguien que quiere conocer el genero.

Great album throughout.

Some really great pieces in there!

A member of the internal core of the very classic of jazz recordings, even if not every track is as good as Take 5

First album of Jazz I listened to. Was also on the infographic. Was fun and made me feel like dancing. very full sounding with for a quartet

Jazz, really good jazz.

Dentro del Jazz no es mi género favorito, pero en este grado es un disco muy muy a gusto que cumple a la perfección esa nota de "Cool" Jazz. Con complejidad musical pero sin llegar a la exageración o falta de estructura que a veces hace un poco fuera de alcance a otros géneros y es un disco hasta casi didáctico para entender ritmos.

Me gustó mucho tener que escuchar este disco. Obviamente conocía Take Five, pero es muy interesante que exista toda una exploración a esquemas rítmicos tan poco tradicionales y que además sea algo muy agradable de escuchar. Como siempre con el jazz, cuestión de gustos y algo que quizá no escucharía en cualquier situación, pero que en las lluvias del fin de semana me cayó perfecto.

La única razón por la que no le pongo cinco estrellas es porque yo no soy tan fino y elegante como ellos. Recuérdenme donde sale Take Five? En todos lados, no?

Jazz de viejitos. Todo recto y sin alocarse jaja.

I was a bit worried when I saw this was from the 50s, as the previous one I had from that decade sounded increadibly dated. It was actually pretty good. Nice and relaxing, chilled instrumentals. No songs stick out in particular but as a whole is a decent listen.

Really nice clean melodic jazz. Includes three of the most iconic riffs in jazz music. This is what they teach in music school, it’s canon. Killer drum solo on Take 5. Nice listen, perfect for a party. A few of the songs weren’t legend status, so 4.

Absolutely legendary jazz album.

Great! I liked it a lot! I love the weird time signatures. It's a lot of fun. I'll definitely keep it on my mind next time I'm in a jazz mood.

It was pretty good, the first track was the only one I didn't enjoy. Good background music. 4/5 stars.

Really enjoyable. Smooth yazz

Loved this, proper foot tapping jazz, and I’m not a jazz lover in the whole. This ones been added to my favourites for those chilled moments

Nice, jazz

Highly enjoyable listening. Not a jazz fan generally, but this is an album I can see myself putting on again.

чилова

It's the classic cool jazz album that actually sounds cool and not over complex. And it contains the famous Take Five song. What's not to like?

'Take Five' was played by a friend's group during college, it's nice to hear it again ^^

This was a classic! Very soothing. I enjoyed it.

Solid jazz, really enjoyable.

I'm not musical enough to recognise experimental time signatures. To me, this sounds like a cool, fun, chilled jazz album, which is the kind of jazz I enjoy. Recorded in 1959, but sounds timeless. It seems like the group achieved exactly what they set out to do. I can't fault it. 4/5.

8.5/10

Love this type of music to work to

Estoy sorprendida que este álbum se hiciera a partir de la improvisación, ya que los artistas tienen mucha química. Además es un genero de música que lo odias o te encanta. Mis canciones favs: - take five -Kathy ´s waltz - Pick up Sticks

Very much enjoyed the drum solos and polyrhythms on this.

Classic, great album

Take Five is just so good. Never gets old. The rest also quite nice, like Kathy's Waltz how it combines a straight ahead beat with 3/4 piano.

Good jazz

Discovered odd time signatures through this. Timeless

‘Blue Rondo à la Turk’ was fantastic, lively, energetic; it was everything you could have wanted from a jazz song. I actually recognised ‘Take Five’ which I was not expecting!

Knew about half of the songs before. Classic album.

super clean sound. despite the odd time signatures it's very listenable.

Okay, generally liked this whole jazz album. It was more clearly defined and melodic, very chill. I really like Take Five (although I didn't know the song's name or artist until now)

Good, easy listening stuff. Would think quite radical at the time

already heard m8 but still a bop

Fantastic album. Very fun to listen to.

Chilled ones. Good for WFH but also with a vape

Some classics! I recognized and especially enjoyed both Take Five and Blue Rondo a la Turk

jazzy

Enjoyed the melodic jazz vibes, not overly distracting or frantic - just pleasant.

Je häufiger sie mal eben durchläuft, desto mehr Aufmerksamkeit bekommt diese Scheibe jedes Mal. War sie Sonntags früh eine Art stiller Kompagnon zum Fensterputz so ist sie heut der Regen auf den Glasscheiben. Die neue Story auf einem frischen Blatt Papier. 3.9

Muss bei solchen Sachen, insbesondere wenn sie am Sonntag aufgegeben werden, immer aufpassen, sie nicht einfach als schöne Sonntagsunterhaltungsmusik wegzuhören. Weil: dazu eignen sie sich - so wie auch das hier - ja ganz hervorragend. Im direkten Vergleich mit dem neulich gehörten "Birth of the Cool" von Miles Davis aus demselben Jahr (glaube ich) finde ich das hier entschiedener, mehr bei sich. Bunter auch, vielfarbig gewissermaßen. Nicht so cool, sondern eher ... warm? Und dann noch mit DEM Tophit der Jazzmusik. Also mir gefällts richtig gut, da ist locker ne 3,7 drin.

Love Dave Brubeck. I throw him on every now and then for cooking or doing work, and this album has some great tracks. This was great background music, actually finished a book while listening.

Great! A bit repetitive for me but I guess it's because i'm not used to listen to jazz. But it's really really good!

Jazz session.

All (but the 1st song) are great

Muy jazz. Bueno, pero puede hacerse monótono a ratos. Incluye la conocida Take Five.

Classic Brubeck, couple of bangers but probably matched my tastes a decade ago more than now. Still a pleasure to listen to.

I actually had this album in high school. It might be white people jazz, but I love it. It's just so pleasant to listen to. Unimposing yet engaging. Great work day album.

Top quality cool jazz! Fave track - while "Time Out" is a classic, I'm gonna pick "Blue Rondo à la Turk" for the playfulness!

I love Dave Brubeck. He was one of the first that showed me how important time signatures were and how atypical time could be so intriguing.

Great album, with some monster songs in terms of cultural presence, not the least of which "Take Five." I haven't said this about an album yet, but I actually wished it was longer. The band sounds great and it felt like they were just warming up.

A bop

Fav: Take Five

Smooth and very relaxing

Pleasant

Actually know a few songs on this album. Might be the first Jazz album I've ever listened to in its entirety. So the rating might reflect that: B-

I won't even pretend to have enough knowledge of Jazz to give it a proper rating. It's a 3.5 up to 4 for listening purposes, but I know a few of these songs are so iconic I'd imagine this is objectively a 5, but for my personal tastes I can't quite go there. No surprise, but Take Five is my favorite.

A very pop music record. I can see why folks like my jazz teacher looked down on stuff like Blue Rondo. But if you’re college age cooking dinner for a date, can you do better than putting this on? Probably not.

Solid jazz album. A classic.

Great album! Very playful, and very cool. I love the weird time signatures, but it never makes it hard to listen.

Very good

just a classic jazz album

Pretty chill jazz record, got the iconic "Take Five" on it, however that should not discredit other tracks like "Blue Rondo a la Turk" and "Pick Up Sticks"

Muito muito interessante. Estudar os ritmos (time signatures) não usuais que usaram. Produção e timbres perfeitos

Listened to before. Blue Rondo A la Turk and Take Five are great. A good introduction to Jazz.

Smooth listen! Very enjoyable at night

I feel like this should have been my introduction to jazz. It was cool, it was funky, and it was easy to listen to.

honestly the more jazz i listen to the cooler it gets. for a while i was just kinda averse to horns because i didnt like how they sounded but obviously thats not a problem anymore. then for a while after listening to kind of blue i was just like yeah thats pretty good maybe ill get into jazz someday. and i still dont think ive rly taken the plunge but thats fine, not everything has to be this huge-ass binge. maybe one day ill look back and realize oh shit! im a big jazz fan now! and make like fifty lists thatre just like The Best Jazz Albums Of 2034. Greatest Saxophonists Of The 2020s? Who Said Jazz Is Dead!?!?!?!? this album isnt my fav thing ever but its pretty consistent. i paid a little more attention this time around and im more impressed but not more of a fan necessarily, its cool but probably half of this album isn't mindblowing or anything. the other half also isnt mindblowing but its better. kathys waltz and everybodys jumpin are lots of fun, that one build-up in the second half of pick up sticks is euphoric, take five is mysterious and catchy. the pure drum+piano part is a liiittle long for me since im not big on drum solos but the horn part (idk what type of horn it is :() is perfect!!

Quite liked this. Relaxing

Being one of the most recognisable pieces of jazz ever nets it a 3.

Like it 3/5

Overall quite dull background music for me. But Take Five is an iconic track

Not a huge fan of jazz but this is pretty good background music.

Eipä lainkaan huono jazz-levy, itse asiassa varsin hyvä sellainen. Take five -biisissä on tuttu teema ja biisi on erinomainen. Ja onko Kathy’s waltzissa kuultavissa pieni pätkä teemaa Beatlesin All my lovin’ista…? 3/5

I am no longer capable of thinking critically and therefore this album did not blow me away.

Very smart jazz

Nice

Like jazz ,but this album didn’t do much for me

I have a hard time rating this. It feels like this is a cliche but I assume it wasn't when it came out? But I really don't know what that means In terms of my rating. It was fine as a background to driving my car.

Ziemlich gut. Ich mag jazz

6/10

I mean come on, it has Take Five, one of the most recognizable jazz pieces composed in the last 100 years. Overall a bit on the smooth side for me but not so much that I found myself wanting to skip.

Jazz, but like... good jazz...

Take 5 is great, the rest is enjoyable enough.

Jazz that's actually quite catchy. intriguing and not too smug.

Take Five is a nice track but it's still just jazz.

Take Five nearly pushes this to a four but not quite

Dentro de los álbumes full jazz es de los mejorcitos. Igualmente no puedo darle más de 3, porq se pone medio aburrido, la primera canción me gustó mucho igual.

Happy, cool jazz record. Sounds very accessible, with the piano being the main focus of the album. Not for me.

Yeah it was fine. Better than I would have thought. Drums were pretty incredible.

I'll take a smoked Old Fashioned with rye, please. *Loosens tie, but not too much.*

Like any calm jazz album, Time Out explores the limits of music through complex compositions. I saw a crescendo in Take Five, the stand out track from this record. Peaking at #2 on the billboards, popularity and significance is undeniable. However, personally, this album is, at times, seemingly lackluster and its structure is not well defined, a jazz constant which is accentuated here, to my discontent.

3/5

Jazz is either old timey gangster night club sounding or music from a Charlie Brown cartoon. This was the latter. I’m not sure what makes either good. 2.5⭐️

I have nothing good or bad to say.

Take Five, come on. Not much else

Proper easy listening jazz, it's okay but not amazong

good jazz

Good, but a little bit tame and safe. I don't usually like my jazz off the charts zany, but I feel there is more engaging and beautiful 'cool' sounding stuff that pushes into exciting/interesting terriotory without being unitelligably frantic. Take 5 is a banger but the album as a whole feels a bit lifestyle and not particularly inspired.

Enjoyed

Super nice, i already knew it

Take Five is a classic jazz piece

Nice time signatures. Good Jazz. Didn't grab me. 3/5

Technically impressive, although I wish I were more captivated by the music. Jazz is a tough sell for me already so a tight performance alone isn't usually enough.

Rate: 7/10.

Återigen ett sånt jazzalbum som är bra, men också bara jazz. Allt låter som jazz och jag är inte tillräckligt intellektuell för att förstå dess nyanser. Men bra typ, som jazz är. 6/10
