Dave was a WW2 vet and was horrified by his experiences.... It shaped him as a person and a musician for the rest of his life. In an interview I once heard the topic come up and his response was heartwarming,chilling and heartbreaking as you literally hear him breakdown in sorrow. He Dedicated his life to peace and music as a means to that peace. God bless him.

Take five - one of the songs what makes me smile everytime. Warm melody of happiness.

This video, and this channel, are a perfect example of what KZfaq content can be at its highest level of quality and craft... well done!

Take Five done in two takes. Ironic.

As a heavy metal obsessive I think that Time Out is one of the greatest albums of all time!

1959 was the year when two classic jazz albums shook the world Brubeck's "Time Out" & Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue". The band thought "Take Five" was a thrown away? WOW!!!

Take Five is my wife's ringtone for the last 10 years. It's never boring and hundreds of people reacted very positively to it. A truly great song.

Who doesn't love Take Five, but Blue Rondo was everything to me when I heard it.

9/8 in Turkey is not counted as 9 beats. It is 4 beats,but the last one is 1.5 longer than others. 2/2/2/3 Such a rhythms with uneven pulse, called in Turkey "aqsaq"- "broken",or "Limp"

We’ve got a popular cafe in our city named Brubeck in honour of Dave Brubeck. Thanks to this video I know a lot more about him now.

Please do a video on Bossa Nova (big stars Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto)! Why is it so unique and how did a Brazilian music trend became a Jazz staple and influence for other artists in the future?

My man, your visual representation of Morello's solo on Take Five is one of the greatest things you've made!

Take Five is just superb! Morello was an incredible drummer. There is a KZfaq video of Morello's solo live. Wow! Paul Desmond was a great saxophonist. A fantastic quartet.... Genius stuff!

Hearing the timing, melody, and vamp of Take Five gives me goosebumps. Legendary.

My passion is classical, but I love this album. Brubeck made jazz with novel time signatures so approachable, and fun. The album always lifts my spirits.

This album got me into jazz. What a beautiful collection of music

Years ago there was a commercial on TV that had a segment of jazz in it. My son kept calling me out to the livingroom because he was smitten with it. When I finally heard it he asked if his grandad would know it. I was able to tell him that it was 'Take Five' by Dave Brubeck. Now in his forty's he has an extensive jazz collection. All thanks to that one song!

I always think of my late father when hearing Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" and I even used the song at his funeral and it was so appropriate.

Time Out is the greatest jazz album of all time

Miles Davis & Dave Brubeck done! Next options: Jaco Pastorius, John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, Bill Evans, Charles Mingus...

To this day, I'm still grateful that my parent's took me to see Brubeck live about 15 times before he passed.

Perhaps the most addictive jazz tune ever. Excellent video once again, sir.

Your videos should be mandatory for schools everywhere to pass your perfectly presented knowledge to the next generations.

As a Turk, "much of the Turkish music is 9/8" is an overstatement. Its mostly used in mid and up tempo songs due to its danceable/playful nature. Also; since Turkey is an ethnic blend of diverse cultures there are plenty of different musical traditions ,9/8 signiture is mostly attributed to Gypsies and their dance tunes. Which is called "Oyun Havası".

Good analysis. I can tell you that as a child born in 1953, we had both Time Out, and Time Further Out on our stereo regularly. Shaped us in many ways.

A video about John Coltrane please 💓💓💓💓

Awesome! Thank you for creating amazing content. It just doesn't get any better than this.

Wow! You’ve stepped up your graphics and animation, very clean and simple-I’m impressed, please keep it up 😎👍

This is great! Please do more cool jazz 🙏

I was 15 when I bought Time Out (I was already waaay into Miles) and it blew my mind! I got to hear Brubeck play at Ravinia - an outdoor concert in Chicago's sweet summertime. More jazz, please!! THANX!

My Dad had this album, and although I went on to be a Rock fan, I do remember being fascinated by the music, and avidly absorbed the excellent liner notes. They were pretty much all I ever learned of music theory!

Bruh, although Time Out didn’t feature it the Unsquare Dance needs to be a feature in this conversation. It still gives me the chills. Awesome job as always tho dood, GG

Amazing. I've always loved jazz since I was a child and now I've learned a little something about it with videos like these. Not only can it charge you up, but cool you down at the same time. It's exciting and soothing and it makes me happy and calm just having it in the background soothes my soul. I especially love Mr. Brubeck and the rest of the musicians in his band. They are all so very talented and are masters of their craft. He is such a wonderful man to just sit down with and have a conversation with and listen to his life story and get a taste of his life and wisdom.Thank you for this video!🥀

Thank you! This album is LEGENDARY and you did an incredible job summarizing and highlighting it. Thanks for talking up the band too, they are a huge part of what made this album so huge. Dave Brubeck made a great album but they really carried it. Fantastic work!!

I love how the whole band was mentioned.

'Looking Ahead!', 'The Shape of Jazz to Come' and 'Mingus Ah Um' were released the same year, man...

'And an album that, to this day, stands the test of TIME'....I see whatcha did there. Great album, great video!

As someone from the middle east this song is like a warm friend I love it so much!

Time out was the album that got me into jazz... Than you for the deep and insightful video!!!

Brubeck, Miles (the eternal Miles), Coltrane, Mingus, Monk, Baker ... just magnificent music. Timeless.

Saw them live in St Louis circa 1960. Morello on stage alone for 5 minutes or so. Unforgettable.

When I went to college in the early 60's. My dorm roommate was a Dave Brubeck fanatic. I heard all his music !!

Might just be my fav vid from you yet. This whole album is full of songs that were part of teh reason I fell in love with Jazz music

Ahh, the album that got me into jazz. What a masterpiece.

Thank you Polyphonic! My new fave album. I owe you one.

Take Five takes me back to my childhood - watching my parents dancing in the den. Thanks. Blessings all!!!!! 💜💜

Man takes me back to when I was learning take five and blue rondo on horn for my band.

Making jazz with a melody that stands test of time - absolutely top notch work.

Thank you thank you thank you! This is probably my favorite jazz album of all time. I’ve been watching your channel for a while now, and ever since your Miles Davis Kind of Blue video, I’ve been waiting for a time out video, so thank you so much!

You always bring new and interesting info to material I've been listening to. I've had a copy of Time Out in some form since 1988. I know the music, but didn't know the history nearly as well as I do now. Really liked the animation during the drum solo. Good stuff, keep up the great work.

Polyphonic is killin’ it. The quality of the content surpasses what TV networks can achieve, despite networks having armies of ‘creatives’ working for them. Bravo!

I was introduced to Brubeck's fantastic work while taking Jazz classes in Highschool and have loved Time Out since there. Performing Blue Rondo is one of my favorite performance experiences. Thank you for doing a video on one of the most progressive jazz musicians of all time

Thank you. I discovered The Dave Brubeck Quartet and Time Out in 1961 when I was 13 and it was one of the Columbia albums that came with the purchase of our new stereo console. From the very first time I listened to the whole album I loved it and was stunned by how it spoke to me. Compelling aural sensations that activated pleasure centers in my brain. I became a lifelong Brubeck, Desmond, Morello and Wright admirer/appreciator/fan. In my opinion (and this is just my opinion but I have considered all the other jazz musicians and I stick with this opinion) Joe Morello was the greatest jazz drummer and Paul Desmond was the greatest alto saxophone player, probably ever. Dave Brubeck was the most innovative, experimental and adventurous jazz pianist/composer and Eugene Wright is right up there at the top of the list with the greatest jazz bassists of all time. I've listened to/owned most of the Brubeck Quartet vinyl albums that came after Take Five and I love them all but my favorites are Take Five and Countdown: Time in Outer Space.

Take Five is one of those songs that pops into your head from time to time and just hooks you. It'd been stuck in my head all day, then I saw this video in my Recommendations. Call it a sign. Seriously, this cat doesn't get enough recognition. Hopefully, this video gets more kids listening to his work - and jazz in general. 😎

Great video. I've loved Time Out ever since I randomly picked it out from my Dad's record collection a few decades ago. Blue Rondo is my favourite track and has influenced how I thought about music and odd time ever since.

Dave Bruebeck was a legend. Time Out and Take Five are my favorite albums by him.

My Dad had this vinyl in his collection, so I heard it quite a bit as a child in the 60s. Of course, as I got older my tastes leaned towards rock n roll, but I did eventially purchase "Time Out" on CD. It's a really cool disc.

Love when you do jazz vids! It’d be cool to see one on Charles Mingus, Coltrane, Monk, or maybe Miles’ second great quintet or his fusion years.

I always appreciate when you take music we love and get us thinking about the music theory behind it. I don't consider time signatures enough when listening to music, so thank you.

This and Kind of Blue-two of my favorite jazz albums :)

My dad had both this and the Time Further Out albums when I was a kid. Listening to them and reading the liner notes is how I learned about odd time signatures.

I'm a big fan of your videos and been watching them since early on. I'm rooted in rock music but jazz is my other love and so glad to see you expand on it! Dave Brubeck is from my hometown of Concord, California and this record is one of the best ever. Keep up the fantastic work coming, thank you.

Been waiting for something like this, amazing work dude!

Outstanding, well done, kind sir! You get better with every video. Keep up the great work!

Great job as always! Thank you for the time you put into this and All your videos.

time out. I've been listening it for decades and still get goosebumps whenever I listen to it.

Dave's brother, Howard, taught a music class at Palomar Junior College, in North San Diego County, in the 1960s.

Amazing album, amazing video. My only small issue is that Paul Desmond played alto saxophone pretty much exclusively, but the sax images you display in the video are all tenors. The curved neck is the giveaway, altos don't have that.

A few years ago our director ave us Blue Rondo to perform during a concert. At that time it was probably the most difficult piece we've played, because of the constant switching between unconventional time signatures (mind you, we're just a group of "amateur" musicians - none of us are pro's). We were used to pieces switching between time signatures, but this song is on a whole other level. We still use the song as a measurement stick when we receive new music to play. Our director constantly goes: "We've played more difficult than this.", referring to Blue Rondo (and a few others) as the measurement.

I did already own a Greatest Hits of Dave Brubeck, but I guess I need Time Out on vinyl now as well! Thanks for keeping my vinyl collection updated and ever enlarged :)

What a great video man, thanks!

Simply awesome. I already love the album and you are certainly getting way better at animations! Keep going!

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing these insight

Excellent topic, research, use/explanation of various time signatures and presentation!

Very insightful, informative and entertaining. Thanks!

The reason why rock artists in the late 60's through the mid 80s were so successful and creative is because many of them had some training in Classical and/or Jazz! And Dave Brubeck help make that happen! Great video!!

Brubeck and Morello also helped pioneer the "2 against 3" feel that they used in future albums.

This video was freaking awesome, love a good intellectual dive into a brilliant creative landmark like Time Out

My favourite channel does it again. Tremendous work.

Whoever did the editing and animation for this video... Beautiful job! LOVE IT.

Very glad I found this channel, awesome work really man.

Yet another great video. Loved the focus on his drummer. I would love to see one on Buddy Rich.

Another example of why I subscribed to your channel :) Well put together! This is my fav jazz album and thanks for the insight into its creation.

GatDAMMIT! Your videos are so slick! Even that sponsor plug was smooth as butter. Many props, love your work

Why is this so underrated?! This is probably the best video on this channel. Love it, keep it going!

I just found this channel, looking forward to diving into all your amazing content. Keep it up, my dude.

- Superbly presented/produced

This was wonderful! Thanks for the look into this wonderful album...

OMG THAT DASHLANE SEGUE!!! I lost coffee watching this vid... also, Take Five was a groove for a changing American public, looking into the world differently. Great video, mate. SUBBED!

Thanks for sharing the information in this video.

If you haven't won an editing award for this video, you definitely deserve it. Outstanding material and visuals.

It was this album that initiated my love of Jazz. Thanks for the technical background....

Amazing video good man, congratulations for your awesome work.

I was so excited to see this pop in my time line, been waiting for some more jazz on your channel for decades pfiuu 😂😂👍

I have never been a jazz enthusiast but your explanation of Brubeck through his experimentation with time signatures is fascinating and has sparked a new interest in his music. I will listen to Time Out with a different perspective. Well done!

Great vid. Take 5 came out the year I was born and was a common soundtrack behind ads and station notifications in the NYC area (meaning I heard it very often while I was young). I have to commend you on the graphics of this vid as well, this was extremely well done.

One cool thing I remember, I was watching once german national TV and on a day he died they played part of take five instead of intro to their prime time evening news then followed by info he died. That was memorable and actually beginning for me of discovery his music.

The most brilliant video graphics and production values I've seen on KZfaq! I'd be curious to know who did the graphics.

This video was fantastic, and I was astonished when I saw that you had under a million subs, a truly underrated channel. Also I would love to see a video about the Vince Guaraldi Trio, another influential jazz band.

Love this video. You explained what made Brubeck so iconic in a very easy to follow and enjoyable way.
