The author of Take five Dave Brubeck plays Blue Rondo à la Turk with is quartet in this video by youtube: it is really amazing!
It is the mixture of complexity, beauty, and spontaneity that makes this album genius. Time Out exhibits a variety of odd rhythmic meters (including 9/8 in Blue Rondo A la Turk) as well as a strange mixture of modes, yet the tunes flow so well. This work is not only highly original, but brilliantly pleasing to the ears.
