A DAVE BRUBECK TRIBUTE

Frederick Moyer, known for capturing the styles and spirits of the great jazz pianists, joins friends Billy Novick, Peter Tillotson and Peter Fraenkel to pay tribute to pianist Dave Brubeck, who died on December 5, 2012, one day before his 92nd birthday. A student of Darius Milhaud, he brought a classical music sensibility to jazz. Many of his compositions have become jazz standards, his most famous quartet included the lyrical saxophonist Paul Desmond. Their experiments in unusual meters ("Take Five," "Blue Rondo a la Turk," etc.) became hits and made Dave Brubeck a household name. The Dave Brubeck Quartet broke down racial barriers, often playing in venues that had never before presented a racially mixed group. Many of their performances were in colleges and universities, and they are credited with exposing a young generation to jazz. Compositions to be performed include: Take Five, Blue Rondo a la Turk, Unsquare Dance, It's a Raggy Waltz, In Your Own Sweet Way, and others.
