Cultural Facts:

1. A Double-LP Built Around Odd Time: Adventures In Time collects Brubeck's experiments with unusual meters, including “Take Five,” “Unsquare Dance” and “Blue Rondo à la Turk,” helping make rhythms like 5/4 and 9/8 accessible to mainstream jazz audiences.
2. Paul Desmond Wrote the Biggest Hit: Although Brubeck was the bandleader, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond composed “Take Five.” The song became the first jazz single to sell more than a million copies and one of the most recognizable jazz recordings ever made.
3. Joe Morello Changed the Band's Rhythm: Drummer Joe Morello's technical ability encouraged Brubeck to push deeper into odd meters. Brubeck specifically wrote rhythmically challenging material around what Morello could do, making the drummer central to the quartet's famous “time” experiments.
