He returned to Columbia Records in the fall. In November, he appeared in the Broadway musical...

Dave Brubeck is one of the legendary figures of post-war modern jazz, and was one of the leading figures in the so-called "West Coast Cool Jazz" style. In 1954 he was sufficiently high profile to be only the second jazz musician, after Louis Armstrong, to be featured on the cover of Time magazine where he was described as "the most exciting new jazz artist at work today". His leaning towards improvisation and experimentation led to the land mark album Time Out in 1959, recorded with his classic Quartet...
