Description: Dave Brubeck's Time Out. Dave Brubeck was an American jazz pianist and composer who was one of the most popular and successful jazz musicians of the mid-20th century. Born in California in 1920, Brubeck studied music at several colleges before forming the Dave Brubeck Quartet in the 1950s. The quartet's innovative style, which incorporated unusual time signatures and classical music influences, helped to make jazz more accessible to mainstream audiences. Brubeck continued to perform and record music throughout his long career, and his influence can still be heard in the music of countless jazz musicians today. He passed away in 2012 at the age of 91.
