The great Dave Brubeck, one of the most iconic names in jazz.  Along with saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Gene Wright and drummer Joe Morello, Brubeck helped define the genre of West Coast “cool” jazz.  In 1959 Brubeck released Time Out, which included the iconic “Take Five,” a Desmond composition that would go on to become Brubeck’s signature song.  Featuring compositions in odd and mixed meters (outside the conventional 4/4 time that Western ears were primarily accustomed), Time Out is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential albums in jazz history.  Join the Noel Freidline Quartet as they explore the diversity of Brubeck’s music - from Time Out classics “Take Five” and “Blue Rondo a la Turk,” to Brubeck’s take on Stephen Foster and the music of Disney.
