The album Time Out (1959) by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, with bassist Eugene Wright (1923) and drummer Joe Morello (1928-2011), was the first jazz album that sold more than one million copies.

Brubeck realized early in his career that he had to create a different kind of jazz in order to differentiate themselves from the inventors of this music. By include use of aEuropean signatures and are based upon innovative compositions, he developed his own jazz concept .

Except for their own sound the Dave Brubeck Quartet was also groundbreaking because of its multiracial composition. This makes it Brubeck was in a lot of clubs in the United States are not allowed to play and asked TV broadcasts for recordings of performances to put on the black bassist Eugene Wright out of the picture, something Brubeck always refused.
