Very nice!
Gives me spine chills, such a masterpiece
The reason I started listening to jazz!
I have seen them many times in the past. Always great.
Eugene Wright was the freakin man.
JK Simmons about to come in and punch the drummer.
5-5 time tho, so legit.
Edit: 5/4 time. I only comment after bong rips
Does someone have a YouTube link for this song?
Can only imagine peoples reactions to hearing this when it first got played
I will Take 5 and listen to this song.
It’s crazy how much faster the tempo is on this cut is than the one on the album. The album cut is so metered and the vibe is chill; this one goes faster and its vibe is a lot more chaotic. Both are awesome.
I bet I’ve listened to ‘Time Out’ 6 times, front to back this week alone.
Sunday afternoon cocktails on a sunny terrace, but in musical form.
Well that was a swanky little toe tapper
He’s no Roy Donk
In high school I won a talent show with this song.
There are a few songs that jazz musicians should only play one way; NOTE FOR NOTE. This is definitely one.
​
“So What” and “All Blues” are two others.
Dave was my hero. I’m glad I got to meet him a few times.
Why did you cut off Paul Desmond’s solo?
Lucky me! I saw them in college.
This was my intro to jazz!
This song and Herbie Hancock’s *Cantaloupe Island* are what hooked me on jazz
Met Joe Morello in the late 90s at a drum clinic. He was a madman.
Golden Brown by Dave Brubeck is also superb.
People are looking in the wrong place for global warming. The world was just a cooler place when these guys were here.
No, no, no! You’re supposed to post this on May 4th. 5/4!
Paul Desmond the Sax player builds on this with his song called Take Ten that is also really good.
What is really interesting about this tune is that while many jazz songs are played in a 4/4 or even a 3/4 time signature, this song is played in an 8/33 measure. What is significant about this is that when I was 8 I heard this song and instantly became a 33 year old man with a pack-a-day habit and a heroin addiction! Fascinating stuff Paul!
First time I’ve heard this song or heard of this band/people. Instantly it drew me in and has me looking it up because I want more.
I cannot explain how much I love it when a piece of music does that to me and elicits an emotional response like that.
Thank you very much for posting this. Truly grateful.
An absolute masterpiece
Joe Morello was such a cool cat. Jesus…
My Dad’s favorite band. He always had this going in the background. I learned to love them from a very young age. Thanks for the names and memories.

Many concert promoters didn’t want to have Eugene Wright, the bassist, perform alongside the rest of the quartet because he was black. However Brubeck refused to perform without him. Class act.
Joe Morello is a fucking beast on the drums and and amazing human.
In 1996 I called Joe Morello on the phone, I got his number out of the Modern Drummer magazine where he was advertising for students.
As soon as his wife picked up the phone I remembered that there is time difference between New Zealand and The US and I had called their home at 9.45pm their time, he was 68 years old. I apologised to his wife and she said not a problem and went and got him up.
He spoke to me for 30 minutes about jazz, I asked him questions, the path I should take, the fundamental books to work through, he told to send a tape of my playing he would critique. It’s was of the experiences that made learning drumming an amazing journey to go on.
Some of the best music ever made. The four were something else, and their music will be relevant as long as man lives.
