Review 1
Pianist, composer and bandleader, Dave Brubeck is more than a jazz artist. He has written and recorded several large-scale works, including at least two ballets, a musical, an oratorio, four cantatas, a mass and works for jazz group and orchestra. Still, Brubeck possesses one of the most distinctive piano styles in jazz, combining an acute and delicate lyrical sense with the power of block chords and a dramatic musical force that comes from years of playing in any number of time signatures. Add to this his clear connection to the history of jazz piano, including stride and honky tonk, and you find an iconoclast both popular and controversial. |
