December Birdography celebrates Dave Brubeck!

Legendary pianist and composer Dave Brubeck excelled at making jazz music accessible and intriguing to both the commercial audience and diehard jazz community. To Brubeck jazz was art, an art that stood for freedom, loyalty, and principle. This was apparent not only in his masterful playing and composing, but also in his actions as a jazz ambassador to the world and as one of the first leaders to integrate his band in the late 1950’s.This month Birdography guides you through the fascinating story of Brubeck’s life, performs many of his most famous compositions, and presents rare interview clips of Brubeck speaking about his music. Join us we celebrate Dave Brubeck with an all-star band featuring Ted Rosenthal on piano.
