For over fifty years, Dave Brubeck has been a giant of American jazz, exciting millions of fans with his inimitable improvisation and rhythms. He changed the landscape of jazz in the 1950s and 1960s, broadening its scope and audience and recording the first jazz instrumental album to go gold.
Now, in their father’s 90th year, his sons, Darius, Chris and Dan are joined by special guest saxophonist Dave O’Higgins. They have come together to play the music that made him a revered icon of modern jazz. The show includes famous Brubeck originals as well as standard tunes associated with Dave and a few of their own popular compositions.
Darius, the eldest Brubeck son, is a jazz pianist, composer; Chris, a multi-instrumentalist and award-winning composer; Dan is a renowned, Grammy-nominated percussionist. In the 70s and 80s the three brothers recorded and toured worldwide with Dave as Two Generations of Brubeck and The New Brubeck Quartet.
