Time Further Out (subtitled Miró Reflections) is a jazz studio album by the Dave Brubeck Quartet released by Columbia Records in November 1961. It features the "classic" lineup of the quartet: pianist and leader Dave Brubeck, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright, and drummer Joe Morello. The album was recorded by engineer Fred Plaut and produced by Teo Macero.

Overview

[edit | edit source]

Time Further Out continues the Quartet's exploration of unusual time signatures that began on their 1959 album Time Out. The tracks are ordered by the number of beats per bar: "It's a Raggy Waltz" and "Bluette" are in 3
4; "Charles Matthew Hallelujah", a tribute to Brubeck's newborn son, is in 4
4; "Far More Blue" and "Far More Drums" are in 5
4; "Maori Blues" is in 6
4; "Unsquare Dance" is in 7
4; "Bru's Boogie Woogie" is in 8
8; and "Blue Shadows in the Street" is in 9
8. The time signature of each song is listed on the cover of the album (where they are referred to as "tempos").

Cover art

[edit | edit source]

Echoing its predecessor Time Out (whose cover featured a painting by S. Neil Fujita), Time Further Out also features a piece of abstract modern art on its cover, this time by the surrealist Catalan artist Joan Miró. The work depicted on the cover is Miró's 1925 painting Calculation.[4] In his liner notes, Brubeck says the album is a "jazz interpretation" of the painting, and was conceived as a "blues suite".
