The Dave Brubeck Quartet- Time Further Out-LP

Time Further Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet builds on the rhythmic innovations that made their earlier work stand out, diving deeper into complex time signatures with tracks like "Unsquare Dance" and "It's A Raggy Waltz." This 1961 release, produced by Teo Macero and featuring the classic lineup of Brubeck, Desmond, Wright, and Morello, blends inventive jazz compositions with a subtle nod to the abstract art that inspired its subtitle, Miró Reflections. The album’s mix of playful grooves and melodic sophistication offers a distinctive chapter in Brubeck’s exploration of jazz form. This 1971 reissue on vinyl presents a solid opportunity to experience the album’s intricate rhythms and warm interplay in a format that suits both collectors and listeners. The record is graded VG++, indicating glossy, very clean vinyl with only minor light surface marks that should have minimal impact on playback. The pressing maintains the original Columbia Records sound and packaging, making it a reliable copy for anyone interested in this phase of Brubeck’s career or in jazz albums that challenge conventional meter and melody.
