The Dave Brubeck Quartet was a jazz group led by the pianist and composer Dave Brubeck, which became one of the most popular jazz groups of the 1950s and 1960s. The original members included Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on alto saxophone, Bob Bates on bass, and Joe Dodge on drums.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet was best known for their 1959 album Time Out, which was the first album to feature music in unconventional time signatures. It included the iconic songs "Take Five" and "Blue Rondo a la Turk". The album was a major success, reaching number two on the Billboard charts and becoming the first jazz album to sell over a million copies.

The Quartet also released several other successful albums over the years, including Jazz Impressions of Japan (1964), Time Further Out (1961), and Jazz Goes to College (1954).

The Quartet was a major influence in the development of cool jazz, and their music continues to be widely listened to and appreciated today.
