2020 marks the Centennial Year of jazz giant Dave Brubeck. To celebrate his life and legacy, Dave’s sons Chris and Dan Brubeck, who performed and recorded with their father since the 1970s, curate a multimedia show with their own Brubeck Brothers Quartet. With Dan and Chris as the foundation, guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb complete this dynamic quartet. Through stories told by his sons and music performed by the Quartet, the show invites audiences to travel along the timeline of Dave’s extraordinary life and career.

His centennial year has brought its share of tributes and closer looks — including a biography, Philip Clark’s Dave Brubeck: A Life in Time (featured in our Gift Guide), and an in-depth essay by Dr. Lewis Porter, (published under Deep Dive).
