Dave Brubeck Quartet, The - Time Further Out: Miro Reflections '1961 [2011]

Tracks list

Time Further Out continues the Dave Brubeck Quartets exploration of unusual time
signatures that began on their 1959 album Time Out. The tracks are ordered by
the number of beats per bar, starting with Its a Raggy Waltz and Bluette in 3/4,
Charles Matthew Hallelujah in 4/4, Far More Blue and Far More Drums in 5/4,
Maori Blues in 6/4, Unsquare Dance in 7/4, Brus Boogie Woogie in 8/8, and
concluding with Blue Shadows in the Street in 9/8. Like the original Time Out
album, Time Further Outs cover features a work of modern art: a painting by
Spanish artist Joan Miro.

The album is an absolute delight that keeps surprising as it unfolds into tracks
such as Far More Drums, Maori Blues, and the Mingus-like human percussion heard
in Unsquare Dance. Impexs reissue is excellent... Great stuff. - Wayne Garcia,
