Following the massive success of Time Out (one of the jazz milestones from 1959, along with Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, Charles Mingus' Ah Um and John Coltrane's Giant Steps) Dave Brubeck was riding high in the critics polls while being hailed as a new international ambassador of jazz whose profile around the world was only surpassed by that of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. Brubeck's appearance at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival came at a time when "Take Five," the most requested song from Time Out, still dominated radioplay and sales figures for that landmark album had surpassed the million mark. No wonder, then, that the Brubeck quartet's June 30th appearance was met with such an air of anticipation for these new darlings of jazz.
