'I told Paul to put a melody over (drummer) Joe Morello's beat,' Brubeck explained. Paul Desmond, who was Brubeck's alto saxophonist, wrote 'Take Five,' at Brubeck's urging to try and write a song in quintuple (5/4) time.

In Turkey, he observed a group of street musicians performing a traditional Turkish folk song that was played in 9/8 time, a rare meter for Western music. The album was intended as an experiment using musical styles Brubeck discovered abroad while on a United States Department of State-sponsored tour of Eurasia. Brubeck became proof that creative jazz and popular success can go together. Fortunately, Brubeck ignored the conventional wisdom and Time Out became the original classic we know it as today. Some standards and some show tunes were needed in the mix. An entire album of originals? That wouldn't work either, he was told. The record label's sales executives didn't want a painting on the cover when Time Out debuted in 1959 on Columbia Records, Brubeck told an interviewer. This jacket is a beauty! Never has Time Out's colorful iconic cover art looked so vibrant. It's produced for us by Stoughton Printing featuring a printed wrap mounted to a heavyweight chipboard shell, producing an authentic 'old school' look and feel. The jacket is also special - very heavy-duty. Inside are eight fantastic black and white images shot during the recording session at Columbia's famous 30th Street Studios. For the first time in its history, Time Out is presented here packaged in a deluxe gatefold jacket. But it's more than just the vinyl that makes this release so special. Why definitive? The dead-quiet double-LP, with the music spread over four sides of vinyl, reduces distortion and high frequency loss as the wider-spaced grooves let your stereo cartridge track more accurately.
