Time Further Out

# Time Further Out – Dave Brubeck Quartet Step into the experimental heart of modern jazz with *Time Further Out*, the Brubeck Quartet's audacious 1961 follow-up. This pressing captures the group's fearless exploration of unusual time signatures and modal harmonies with stunning clarity—Paul Desmond's alto sax floats effortlessly over Joe Morello's intricate polyrhythmic drumming. Highlights include the hypnotic "Unsquare Dance," a 7/4 groove that became a jazz staple, and the contemplative "Bossa Nova U.S.A." The pressing quality here is exceptional, with warm, detailed highs and a punchy rhythm section that makes you feel the studio's energy. For collectors, this reissue captures everything that made the Brubeck Quartet essential listening—sophisticated yet accessible, adventurous yet grounded. It's the album that proves jazz could be both intellectually daring and deeply human. Essential.
