The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Countdown—Time in Outer Space

I didn't even realise I owned this record until today. The only inkling I have as to how I acquired it is that it came as part of a load of LPs from an auction a decade or so ago. I don't think I've ever played it.

It's proper end of the 50's jazz, from Brubeck's peak line-up. With polyrhythms galore and fancy time signatures that I have no hope of understanding, and a Franz Kline painting on the front cover - just listening to this makes you feel cleverer...like the dude on the front of the Mastermind game, or something.
