Time Out - 50th Anniversary 2CD + DVD Deluxe Edition (1959)

"This album's place in jazz history has been solidified by its being the first platinum-selling jazz album. The producers of this anniversary set came up with some fine extras. First there's the (remastered) album. First there's a second CD that contains previously unreleased concert recordings form 1961, 1963 and 1964 with the classic quartet of Brubeck, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright, and drummer Joe Morello. The track list is stellar and includes standards such as "Pennies from Heaven," and "You Go to My Head," in addition to live versions of both "Take Five," and "Blue Rondo à la Turk." Brubeck and Desmond inspire the performances with some really knotty improvisation and brilliant contrapuntal exchanges between them. The DVD is something else again. About 30 minutes in length, it contains an extensive interview with Brubeck on the making of the album, some terrific performance footage of the quartet, an animated photo gallery, and an interactive piano lesson."
