Rare outtake from the 'Audrey' studio sessions, 1954. Same form (minor blues) but different mood. If you LOVE 'Audrey' you may not like this, but I prefer the bite & assertiveness Paul displays here, somwhat rare for him. With Bob Bates (bass) & Joe Dodge (drums).

  • I HAVE THIS RECORD< for only a buck

  • I got mine for 25 cents at a garage sale in Columbia, Mo. in 1971. May not have any collector value now, but many of those old 10" LPs do, which could be obtained similarly or even for free in peoples' trash in the 1950s.

  • tHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TRACK...I THINK IT IS EXCELLENT AND I WONDER IF IT IS ANOTHER TAKE ON AUDREY?

  • At least 2 takes of a minor blues were made in the first studio sessions after Brubeck signed with Columbia. The first was softer, more romantic, and released as "Audrey", named for Desmond's infatuation with Audrey Hepburn. The second was this, "Makin' Time", with Desmond more bold and aggressive than usual. Interesting comparison, illustrates Desmond's mastery of spontaneity.

  • Couldn't love this more!

  • Very GOOD MUSIC !!!!

  • If you want to explain to somebody what "cool" and cool jazz meant in the 1950's, all you need to do is play this track.

  • ohhhhhhhh this combination of Bob Bates and Joe Dodge is unlike NO other ive heard.... Brubecks work is becoming my favorite of all jazz... overnight...

  • How happy Paul would have been if he had known that his adorable Audrey every evening listened to this piece.

  • @crazyurmel2

    A lovely piece of Jazz.

  • Desmond:  Unbeatable !!

  • I don't LIKE Jazz I LOVE Jazz!!

    Paul will be my favorite of all time! But i think its another take on Audrey, listen to the ending, it's the same he played on Audrey!!

  • @AlexM1979 seriously. i transcribed it but i just can't put as much cool into it as he did.

  • This was recorded on October 13, 1954, the day after "Audrey" was first "waxed".
