David Warren Brubeck – (December 6, 1920 – December 5, 2012) was an Californian jazz pianist and composer, considered one of the foremost exponents of cool jazz.
Dave Brubeck married jazz lyricist Iola Whitlock in September 1942; the couple were married for 70 years, until his death in 2012.

The 40th Anniversary Tour of the U.K. produced a 1998 live album by Dave Brubeck and his quartet recorded over three consecutive concerts in the United Kingdom, some 40 years after he had first visited the country.
The line up then was:

• Dave Brubeck – piano, liner notes
• Bobby Militello – baritone saxophone
• Alec Dankworth – double bass
• Randy Jones – drums

Often incorrectly attributed to Brubeck, the song “Take Five“, which has become a jazz standard, was composed by Brubeck’s long-time musical partner, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond. Written in ⁵/₄ time, “Take Five” has endured as a jazz classic forever associated with Brubeck.

The local supply ot tickets for Neil Maya’s Quarteret on 31st October are almost out 🙂  Any remaining tickets are held with Artsreach – please visit www.artsreach.co.uk

Good luck in the raffle!
