On June 25 and July 1, 1959, Dave Brubeck recorded Time Out, which became such a huge success that even the musicians were taken by surprise. By 1959, the Dave Brubeck Quartet with Paul Desmond (the bass player and the drummer changed a few times until Joe Morello arrived in 1956 and Eugene Wright joined the group in 1958/59) had been in existence for nearly a decade and it enjoyed tremendous popularity among jazz audiences. The band had begun playing in colleges, and slowly made their way into concert halls and jazz festivals. In 1954 Brubeck was featured on the cover of Time magazine (the second jazz musician to receive the honor following the groundbreaking cover of Louis Armstrong in 1949). In the mid and late fifties, the Dave Brubeck Quartet issued many popular albums, including Brubeck Time, Jazz Red Hot and Cool, Jazz Impressions of the USA, Jazz Goes to Junior College, Newport ’58 (the group had become a regular feature at the Newport Jazz Festival, and at the 1958 edition they played a homage to the music of Duke Ellington), Jazz Impressions of Eurasia, and, in 1959, just before taping Time Out, Gone with the Wind, which received a 5-star rating in Down Beat.
