The original liner notes of this album discuss a hypothetical "cool-minded Martian." One track starts as a "Haydn-esque waltz theme" before revealing itself to alternate between two bars of 3 and two bars of 4, while "Kathy's Waltz" is dedicated to one musician's daughter, although her name is misspelled. One song from this album, featuring unusual 12/8 and 9/8 rhythms, was inspired by Istanbul street music, while the most famous track was originally intended only to be a Joe Morello drum solo. Paul Desmond has memorable solos in "Blue Rondo A La Turk" and another piece written in a 5/4 time signature. For 10 points, name this jazz album featuring "Take Five" released by the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
