MUST HAVE JAZZ CD.......2007-03-15

Dave Brubeck's Time Out is a great classic whose appeal has stood and will continue to stand the test of time. I'm not a jazz afficionado or hep cat, but I dig all the tunes from this 1959 release, just as I already did those of Miles Davis' all-time classic from the same year, Kind of Blue.

In my opinion, Time Out and Kind of Blue are the essential jazz releases. You can build your jazz collection to complement them, but you cannot truly add anything in terms of quality.

Time Out is a most pleasant work for those who have had a stressful day. A mellow yet upbeat pace is prevalent throughout, as was well commercialized and publicized in the million-selling single off the album, Take Five.

A few years ago, I reviewed Elvis Presley's Back in Memphis as one very soulful and relaxing CD. On a parallel note, I can assure you that Time Out is unequivocally a very soothing and jazzy contribution to the world of music.

A must-have jazz cd.......2007-03-04

If you want to build your jazz collection from the start, this must be one of your first cd's, along with Miles' Kind Of Blue. It's instantly accessible, for those whoe are jazz-phobic, however, it stands the test of sonic-time, as it still sounds fresh almost 50 years later.

Caution: Format.......2007-02-19

I know this album very well since I have the original which was released in the early 60s, but I don't want to play it and accelerate it's deterioration. In my current state of techno ignorance, however, I did not realize this format (SACD) was not compatible with my CD player. I will definitely buy the correct format CD of this album since it is a unique and classic example of that era's jazz and an overall wonderful performance by an outstanding artist.

Non Essential .......2007-01-15

I think the importance of this album depends on the genres that you've enjoyed before discovering it. I personally come from a prog rock/jazz fusion background where bizarre time signatures (and the mastery of them) are the norm and not the exception. This may have been groundbreaking at the time, but it now sounds simplistic in lieu of advances in other genres. What makes things worse is that there are a multitude of late 50's jazz artists who released albums with more talented performers that were even better compositions. Anything from Miles, Trane, Evans, even Rollins is far superior to this in tone and playing, while compositionally, Mingus, Monk, and Trane are far more interesting. This should have been lost in the shuffle years ago but people enjoy it for nostalgia reasons. It's good....just not essential.

Time in on Time out.......2007-01-09

This is a jazz standard that should be in every collection.

There are the songs you know that are very good of course, but the ones you don't know are equally as good if not better.
