Time Out (SACD) - Brubeck, Dave

Ah. Jazz. I love Jazz, so I don't know why I don't have more Jazz CD's in my collection. Anyway, I bought this because my father was always into Dave Brubeck (my dad got this when it was new), so I decided to pick something up to see what it sounds like. The song on here named Take Five is something that I recognized instantly, so I must have heard this somewhere before - but God knows where. The Super Audio CD version sounds incredibly clean on my home theatre system. This really does show off the format, by making it feel like the guys are there - it's amzing how much better this sounds in SACD vs a "conventional recording" of the same songs on the same system. I'm not one who can tell you when a time change happens, or how Joe Morello's playing makes this song better because of that bridge... I just enjoy the music; I'm not a technicaly listener.

This album is to Jazz what Back in Black and Led Zeppelin IV are to hard rock, or Michael Jackson's Thriller is to pop music, or Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is to rock. Get this.

And if you have a Super Audio CD player, then you DEFINITELY need to get this - it's a showcase for the format.

Thanks to Wil Wheaton (yeah, THAT one) for pointing out the video.
