Description

A celebration of the life and music of the great Dave Brubeck from his early days as a legendary experimental jazz musician to composing religious music, and how he defied the odds to become a jazz celebrity in the early rock and roll era and continuing to perform with his son, Chris Brubeck. We’ll talk with Dave’s son about his memories of his legendary father, take a tour of the experimental side of Dave Brubeck with our jazz historian Lewis Porter, and explore why Brubeck disbanded his legendary quartet and turned to religious music in the 1970s.
