About this album

Time Further Out continues The Dave Brubeck Quartet’s bold exploration of irregular metres, refining the ideas that made Time Out such a landmark. Issued in 1961, the album balances formal invention with easy melodic appeal, with Paul Desmond’s alto saxophone and Dave Brubeck’s piano making the odd-time concepts sound relaxed rather than academic. Pieces such as It’s A Raggy Waltz and the later hit Unsquare Dance helped broaden jazz’s rhythmic vocabulary while keeping the quartet firmly within the cool jazz tradition. It stands as one of Brubeck’s most distinctive statements, showing how experimental structure could still reach a wide audience.
