#453 Dave Brubeck - Time Out

I'm getting desperate, even hitting the jazz, which I have no ability to review.

The rap on this one is its experimentations in time signature, especially the classic Take Five. The thing that got me was how sprightly it is, there's nothing ponderous or difficult about it, no bracing silences, to spastic bursts, to noise or aggressive assertion of its avantness. It's downright listenable, perfectly cool, agile without being smooth. Effortless. Let's leave it at that 4/5

You might like this if: shit I don't know. You like jazz? You want something inventive without all the effort that inventive jazz implies.
