Time Out is a 1959 studio album by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, often linked to the cool jazz and West Coast jazz movements. This album was inspired by musical traditions Brubeck encountered while touring Eurasia on a U.S. State Department and one key influence came from Turkey, where he heard street musicians playing in 9/8 time, a structure rarely used in Western music.
