Dave Brubeck’s enduring 1959 album “Time Out” is an American sonic masterpiece and resonates to this day. The shifting time changes and melodic and harmonic beauty of his quartet’s work sound as fresh today as they did then. Paul Desmond’s poetic alto saxophone is iconic. Blended together with Brubeck’s muscular piano playing and the driving rhythm section of Eugene Wright, bass, and Joe Morello, drums — the musical totality is flawless.
The Tom Keenlyside Quartet plays the entire album live, along with other Brubeck gems. With a musical career spanning six decades, and includes performances with Diana Krall, Harry Connick Jr., and Dizzy Gillespie, Keenlyside leads his Juno-nominated band through all the swing standards in this night of unforgettable catchy jazz.
