Who is Dave Brubeck?
Part of
Hosted by Ted Nash
This hour-long program will celebrate the tunes and tales of one of music’s most influential, ambitious, and downright decent figures. Dave Brubeck made our music and country better, and, as a global jazz ambassador, he represented the best American ideals to the rest of the world. Through live performances of some of Brubeck’s greatest works, you’ll hear why his music remains so popular and enjoyable, from the unusual rhythms that made Time Out a record-selling album, to his lively and distinctive solo pieces. Designed to entertain and inform audiences of all ages, this show honors a one-of-a-kind musician, educator, and champion of social and civil rights.
This performance is free to the public and will be available to view on demand until February 24, 2021.
