Celebrated globally for his groundbreaking work with the Dave Brubeck Quartet, most notably on \"Take Five\", this legendary session gave Morello the well-deserved spotlight to step out as a leader. The album’s title is a brilliant play on words, declaring that it was finally \"about time\" for Morello to lead his own date while nodding to his unparalleled mastery over polyrhythms and tempo. Rather than a self-indulgent drum clinic, Morello delivers a beautifully balanced, swinging statement that favors ensemble synergy over mere technical exhibition.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo bring this ambitious vision to life, Morello collaborated with producer George Avakian and assembled an extraordinary lineup of jazz royalty. The immaculate arrangements were penned by a young Phil Woods, who also contributes scorching alto saxophone solos that perfectly bridge small-group dynamics with the driving power of a big band. The tracking sessions are split between a brass-forward orchestra and a tightly knit sextet, which features a 17-year-old prodigy, Gary Burton, on vibraphone in some of the earliest recorded performances of his career. Originally engineered by Ernie Oelrich in the world-class acoustic spaces of Webster Hall and RCA Victor’s Studio A, this exceptional recording beautifully exploits natural depth and reverberation, offering a stunning sonic portrait of mid-century East Coast jazz at its absolute peak.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e Ensemble - Joe Morello And His Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e(tracks: 1, 4, 7, 9)\u003cbr\u003eJoe Morello Sextet (tracks: 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10)\u003cbr\u003eArranged By, Alto Saxophone, Featuring – Phil Woods\u003cbr\u003eVibraphone, Featuring Gary Burton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecording Info: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eEngineer – Ernie Oelrich\u003cbr\u003eProducer - George Avakian\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in Webster Hall and RCA Victor´s Studio A, New York City.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSourced from a 4-track tape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponents used for Transfer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis transfer leverages precision analog playback and mastering-grade digital conversion.
