Dave Brubeck has become an American icon for the world of jazz piano and composition. Considered to be one of the foremost performers of “cool jazz,” he achieved global recognition in his field. His style ranged from refined to bombastic, reflecting both his classical training and his extraordinary improvisational skills. His compositions are known for employing unusual and complex rhythms and harmonies. He was also a composer of orchestral, sacred, and television music. Everyone knows the most famous musical work ever recorded by his quartet, Paul Desmond’s “Take Five.”

The Sam Bruton Quartet is: Sam Bruton, Piano • Larry Panella, Saxophone • David Pellow, Bass • Peter Wehner, Percussion

Tickets are $25 in advance / $30 at door.
