Mellow late sixties soul music.......2005-04-13

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles recorded most of their best music in the early to mid-sixties, after which Smokey gave a lot of his best songs to other Motown artists. Thus, these albums from 1968 and 1969 do not capture the group at their best but they are still worth hearing if you are a committed Motown fan.

The first album, Time out, yielded four American top forty hits although three of them only made the thirties. Baby baby don't cry was the first single from the album and the biggest hit by far, making the American top ten. It missed the British charts and no further singles from the album were released in Britain. The three other American hits were Doggone right, Abraham Martin and John and Point it out. Marvin Gaye also recorded Abraham Martin and John, his version being released as a British single and making the top ten. Although I'm more familiar with Marvin's version (and therefore my be biased), I really do think Marvin's version is superior and wonder what would have happened if his version had been released in America instead of Smokey's.

The other songs on Time out include covers of My girl (actually written by Smokey but a 1965 hit for the Temptations), Wichita lineman (Glen Campbell) and For once in my life (Stevie Wonder). Another reviewer suggests that Wichita lineman doesn't work but I quite enjoyed Smokey's version of the song. Nevertheless, I agree that The composer is a really great song. Now, why wasn't it released as a single? It would surely have done better (at least in America) than some that were released.

The second album here is Four in blue. It may not be their greatest album but I really don't think it's as bad as another reviewer suggests. Having said that, Motown didn't release any singles from it in Britain or America, so perhaps they weren't impressed by it. The songs that everybody will surely recognize are the covers of Hey Jude (Beatles), You've lost that loving feeling (Righteous brothers) and My world is empty without you (Supremes). Are they as good as the originals? No, but they are different and I enjoy them.

The remaining songs on Four in blue include four written by Smokey and several others written by Motown staff writers such as Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson. Among the highlights are California soul, Dreams dreams and You send me your good loving.

These two albums may not be the best that Smokey Robinson and the Miracles recorded, but I find them relaxing and enjoyable. If you are building a collection of their music, you may be better to buy their earlier albums first.

Of all Smokey albums - why Four in Blue?.......2001-09-03

As a very big Smokey Robinson fan, I was delighted to see Motown reissue these long out of print CDs again. I was even more excited to find that this reissue would include "Four In Blue", an album that had never before been released in CD format.

First, for those who have never heard this material, Time Out... has a number of great tracks on it. "Doggone Right", "Baby Don't Cry", "Once I Got to Know You" (truly marvelous) and "The Composer" are all stand outs. But this album also has its share of tracks that simply don't work, (namely The Hurt is Over and Witchita Lineman) as well as a few tunes that could have been remarkable were it not for the horribly out of tune background voices (the covers of "Abraham, Martin, and John" and "For Once in My Life"). This album by itself would probably rate around 3 stars.

But the real disappointment lies in the choice of Four In Blue as the second album. The first two tracks, especially "You Send Me", are wonderfully crafted Smokey Robinson originals. But after that, this CD travels downhill faster than an avalanche. Most of the remaining tracks were written by other songwriters, (only 2 other tunes were written by Smokey out of the last ten), and frankly, they shoud have never been recorded.

As such a big fan of Smokey's, I think it's really unfortunate that another album like Pocket Full of Miracles or One Dozen Roses wasn't chosen for the second half. If the decision to choose Four In Blue was because it was chronologically released after Time Out, that would make sense only if the intent was to release Smokey's entire catalog. Otherwise, I'm sure that Motown could have found a much stronger selection of songs to re-release. Very disappointing indeed.

As a final note, for those who have the Time Out For Smokey CD that was originally released in 1986, if you truly enjoy these songs and care about such things, this CD is well worth the purchase for the remastering alone. Songs like "My Girl" were originally mastered very poorly. You could actually hear the tape trying to catch up with iself at the beginning of the song, creating a sound that resembled a warped record. This reissue's only saving grace, is that those problems from the first go round are cleaned up very well. But for those of you looking for a CD to familiarize yourself with Smokey Robinson's material, stay away from this release until you become a die hard fan who wants to hear it all.

Excellent Though Not Necessary.......2005-12-03

Throughout music history, it has been difficult for artists of all kinds to be able to integrate catchiness with complexity. Dave Brubeck's quartet was no exception; their posed challenge was even more difficult thanks to their musical genre. After all, nobody was able to swing better on the piano than Dave Brubeck back in the day, and this pattern of time, odd to many listeners, would have been a major turn off.

'Time Out' was an original release by the quartet, only a few years before this album. It encompassed some fascinating experimentation with time signatures and implementation of foreign musical elements with straight jazz swing. The album was a success, as it was able to be as enjoyable as any other worldly music album, but it also satisfied the common jazz fan's urge to discover and explore.

Was the quartet out for more money? Or were they simply not bored yet with this newfound method of song construction? It's tough to say, though one can be assured that this follow-up album does not dissapoint. The first side of this album contains mostly your average piano jazz rhythms, however they are played in some odd time signatures. Within the first ten or fifteen minutes of the album, not only was the common 4/4 played, but also 3/4 and 6/8. The fun doesn't even stop there, as once the second side is reached, the listener is treated to a fantastic collage of authentic beats and rhythms inspired from African drumming styles. On the tune "Unsquare Dance", the drummer incorporates rim-shots and metal clicks galore in order to further progress the rhythm into a faster and more intense African 'celebration' type of groove. As the title demonstrates, it is far from an orderly or established dance rhythm. However, fascinatingly enough, the Brubeck quartet was able to also fuse their famous swing melodies into this song towards the end, accomplishing what very few musicians have - they successfully combined innovation with accessiblity.

I rated this album with the 4/5 star rating because I felt that this album isn't the best place to start for Brubeck beginners or fans alike. Since it is merely a continuation of a trend began by an album from only a few years ago, it would be wise to pick up the more essential 'Time Out' by the quartet. I will admit that the album is really only saved by its recurring spurs of innovativeness, though it is not in short numbers. If you want a real classic, this is not the place to start. However, if you want to continue your voyage into an unknown void that not too many musicians have ever dared enter, it would be almost necessary to pick up this title in order to strive towards completing the collection.

Enjoy the music!
-Andrew

Epic jazz.......2005-07-11

I could write about the brilliance of Brubeck forever. Suffice it to say that "Time Further Out" is one of the best jazz albums ever recorded. Every listening reveals new depth.

Dave's quartet broke new ground on lots of albums, including this one. Over-shadowed by "Time Out" and it's magnificent "Take Five", "Time Further Out" is every bit the worthy sequel. Also recommended as essential is "Jazz Impressions of Eurasia". Dissonant impressionism abounds, and one should consider what others in jazz were doing at the time.

In some respects, Dave and the quartet never got their due as producing artistically heavy-duty music. Careful listening proves otherwise.

Far More Brubeck.......2004-09-01

I first heard this album in 1990 after I picked it up on cassette as a 16 year old visiting Greenwich Village, NY for the first time. Needless to say, I was utterly spellbound. I had discovered Brubeck the previous year when I'd raided my Dad's collection and found the unusual "Brandenburg Gate Revisited" album - which I'd enjoyed - but had hoped for something a little more pared down. A cassette collection called "Take Five" followed, appearing in my Xmas stocking, before I got my hands on this album.

It is, quite simply, superb. The inventiveness of stepping up a time signature with almost every new track is impressive enough, but the tunes themselves are masterpieces. Then, having thought that "Take 5" was the apogee of 5/4 writing, I discovered "Far More Blues" and "Far More Drums". I probably still lean more towards the former track, not least for the gorgeously blues-y use of the augmented 4th (B natural) throughout the opening F-minor motif, which somehow seemed totally to fit the album's Miro paradigm. The ferocious excitement and yet precision of Morello's drumming in the latter, however, is equally spell-binding.

I was then left with three Brubeck-related ambitions...

1. To see the great man perform live. This I did at this year's New Orleans Jazz Festival... managing to sneak back-stage and get within a couple of feet of him. That was truly awesome.

2. To get a copy of "Time Further Out" on vinyl. I still haven't done this... and this is a search which may never be fulfilled.

3. To know where to explore next with Brubeck's music. I've never really explored beyond his 1950s & 1960s work. For Brubeck devotees out there... what should I listen to now, in terms of his latter work?

But to finish with a thought on Time Further Out: if you've heard Take 5 - and the chances are, you have - then get your hands on this album. You will not be disappointed.

Worthy Sequel to 'Time Out!'.......2004-08-25

As other reviewers have noted, this record is a sequel to the Dave Brubeck Quartet's top-selling "Time Out," which explored jazz in odd time signatures. "Time Further Out" continues that trend, but with a twist; all of these tunes utilize a twelve bar blues progression. The question: "How many different meters can a twelve bar blues be performed in?" The answer: "More than you could possibly imagine!"

The best known tune here is "It's a Raggy Waltz" which is in 3/4 with phrasings that give it a 2/4 feel ([1-2-1]-[2-1-2]-[1-2-3]-[1-2-3]). A few of the other tunes are blues progressions in 3/4 or 6/8 ("Bluette" and "Blue Shadow on Easy Street"). Brubeck also returns to the 5/4 made familiar by "Take Five," in "Far More Blues" and "Far More Drums" - both of which are the same tune, but the latter is a version with an extended and exciting Joe Morello drum solo. We also cover the 7/8 meter {1-2-1-2-1-2-3)in the quirky "Unsquare Dance." Those are just a few favorites.

For those who either aren't entirely versed in jazz or know little about time signatures, do not let that dissuade you from this CD. Brubeck and his quartet make these strange ideas extremely accessible and it has always amazed me at how Brubeck always seems to have one ear concentrating on how to break boundaries while the other is on commerciability. Though Brubeck might write in foreign time signatures (foreign even to many jazz buffs) or solo using strange polyrythms and stranger modes, he makes it sound like the most natural thing in the world. The experienced and unexperienced jazzer can listen and derive untellable satisfaction alike.

That's it. I've said enough. Buy the disc!
