Description
Dave Brubeck was a gifted jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader, but even more than that, he helped redefine the sound of 20th century American music. We’ll follow him from his early days as a leading figure of both the West Coast and “cool” jazz movements, to his golden years as an elder statesman of American music. We’ll also explore the strange genesis of “Take Five,” which became the most unexpected of pop hits in 1959.
