From the inside cover: When the Dave Brubeck Quartet called it a set at the end of 1967, Paul Desmond decided it was high time for Time Out. And rightly so. After all, he had been with the quartet since "before the Crimean War" (factually, 17 years), logged a million-plus miles in air travel, cut 50 or so LPs and played in as many countries, and was plain bushed.

For nine months he never laid lips on an alto sax. Four of those months he whiled away pleasantly in a rented house in Montego Bay. There he conceived the idea and set down the first jottings for a book of reminiscences – a book tentatively titled How Many Are There In Your Quartet? It was a question Payl and his colleagues had learned to live with, since it was put to them so sweetly – and so often! – by airline stewardesses.
