Dave Brubeck messes with time

I think “Time Further Out” is the only one I still have in my collection, but while all three are still good, they pale in comparison to the first one. “Time Changes” I remember has a side-long third-stream/classical piece that didn’t impress me back in my 20’s (but my tastes have changed so I should revisit).

I think the other classic in the Brubeck discography is “Jazz Impressions of Japan”, which has what I consider one of the prettiest songs in jazz.

Ha! There is an early one called “Brubeck Time” that is not time-signature related at all, just standards.
