Countdown: Time in Outer Space The Dave Brubeck Quartet

One of Dave Brubeck’s more adventurous albums, this LP finds his Quartet exploring originals in a variety of potentially difficult time signatures including 11/4 and a polyrhythmic version of the dates’ one standard “Someday My Prince Will Come.” Other highlights include “Countdown,” “Castilian Drums” and “Three’s a Crowd.” Highly recommended along with Brubeck’s other Time recordings.
