'''''Time Further Out''''' (subtitled '''''Miró Reflections''''') is a jazz studio album by the Dave Brubeck Quartet released by Columbia Records in November 1961. It features the "classic" lineup of the quartet: pianist and leader Dave Brubeck, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright, and drummer Joe Morello. The album was recorded by engineer Fred Plaut and produced by Teo Macero.

==Overview== ''Time Further Out'' continues the Quartet's exploration of unusual time signatures that began on their 1959 album ''Time Out''. The tracks are ordered by the number of beats per bar: "It's a Raggy Waltz" and "Bluette" are in {{music|time|3|4}}; "Charles Matthew Hallelujah", a tribute to Brubeck's newborn son, is in {{music|time|4|4}}; "Far More Blue" and "Far More Drums" are in {{music|time|5|4}}; "Maori Blues" is in {{music|time|6|4}}; "Unsquare Dance" is in {{music|time|7|4}}; "Bru's Boogie Woogie" is in {{music|time|8|8}}; and "Blue Shadows in the Street" is in {{music|time|9|8}}. The time signature of each song is listed on the cover of the album (where they are referred to as "tempos").

===Cover art=== Echoing its predecessor ''Time Out'' (whose cover featured a painting by S. Neil Fujita), ''Time Further Out'' also features a piece of abstract modern art on its cover, this time by the surrealist Catalan artist Joan Miró. The work depicted on the cover is Miró's 1925 painting ''Calculation''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reproduction-gallery.com/oil-painting/1019818497/calculation-1925-by-joan-miro/|title=Calculation 1925 by Joan Miro &#124; Oil Painting Reproduction Replica on Canvas}}</ref> In his liner notes, Brubeck says the album is a "jazz interpretation" of the painting, and was conceived as a "blues suite".
