Delving into the many shades of jazz. Digging in the archives and selecting from the standards and classics to the modern masters and future movers and shakers.
In this hour, we remember the great Dave Brubeck who passed away last year at the age of 91. We’ll talk with Dave’s son Chris Brubeck about his memories of his legendary father, and hear how Dave Brubeck defied the odds and became a jazz celebrity in the early rock and roll era. We’ll 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.
