December 14, 1959 – a historic date: On this day, “Time Out” was released on Columbia Records, recorded by Dave Brubeck (piano) in a quartet formation – with Paul Desmond (alto saxophone), Eugene Wright (bass) and Joe Morello (drums) – between May 25 and August 18, 1959, at Columbia 30th Street Studios in New York. Columbia was less than enthusiastic about the results of the recording sessions. This was also reflected in the opinion of critics at the time, who saw “Time Out” as a betrayal of jazz. Of course, this did not detract from the album's success: in 1961, the title track, composed by Paul Desmond, made it to the top of the pop charts.

UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. Another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied to the softer photopolymer for scratch protection. The combination results in significantly reduced reflection of laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with standard CD players. Musically, the result is a sound image strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.
