Time Changes

Notes

Time Changes has the quartet on one side (including some odd time signature pieces), and the quartet plus a symphony orchestra doing a Brubeck "third stream" composition called Elementals (which the notes call a concerto for the quartet and orchestra). There is no recording date or copyright date, but I think it is from about 1963, shortly after Countdown. Lord places the the quartet sessions on 15/Oct/63, 20/Nov/63 and 3/Dec/63 and the quartet/orchestra sessions on 12/Dec/63 and 8/Jan/64. All recorded in NYC.
