WICN presents Dave Brubeck October 11, 2008 at 8:00 pm at THE HANOVER THEATER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS.
Brubeck's style ranges from refined to
bombastic, reflecting his mother's attempts at classical training and
his improvisational skills. Much of his music employs unusual time
signatures.
His long-time musical partner, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, wrote the
Dave Brubeck Quartet's most famous piece, "Take Five", which is in 5/4
time and has endured as a jazz classic.
Brubeck experimented with time signatures through much of his career,
recording "Pick Up Sticks" in 6/4, "Unsquare Dance" in 7/4, and "Blue
Rondo à la Turk" in 9/8. He also provided music for the TV animated
miniseries "This Is America, Charlie Brown".
