  • Eli Yamin Celebrates the Dave Brubeck Quartet Curriculum Guide
    Eli Yamin Celebrates the Dave Brubeck Quartet Curriculum Guide Eli Yamin Celebrates the Dave Brubeck Quartet Overview These six videos are presented and performed by jazz and blues pianist, composer, singer, producer and educator Eli Yamin. The videos vary in length from 3 to 12 minutes. The title of the series aptly denotes the content because Eli Yamin and his group of master musicians truly do “celebrate” 5 songs of Dave Brubeck. Each video examines and performs a specific song and its unique qualities. Although the focus is always the music, the lessons easily apply to literacy and language arts standards, grades 6-12. The amount of time spent on the lessons can be decided by the teachers, depending on students’ interest, needs, and planning. Below is a brief summary of the content of each video to help teachers decide which best suits their curriculum. It is recommended that all the videos be studied in order to provide a full scope of Brubeck’s music, but the lessons and videos can each stand alone. Dave Brubeck Brief Background Dave Brubeck was a famous jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader who lived from 1920 to 2012. He founded the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951 after playing for several years in his group called the Dave Brubeck Octet. His group became very popular in the 1950s, most notably for his combination of great melodies, strong sense of swing, and unusual meters and rhythms from around the globe. Some of his more popular songs are "Blue Rondo a la Turk," "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "The Duke." He collaborated with quartet member Paul Desmond on numerous compositions; Desmond’s “Take Five” became the first jazz instrumental to sell more than one million copies.

  • Dave Brubeck's Southern Strategy
    Dave Brubeck’s Southern Strategy Kelsey A. K. Klotz Abstract: In January 1960, white jazz pianist Dave Brubeck made headlines for cancelling a twenty-five- date tour of colleges and universities across the American South after twenty-two schools had refused to allow his black bassist, Eugene Wright, to perform. This cancellation became a defining moment in Bru- beck’s career, forever marking him as an advocate for racial justice. This essay follows Brubeck’s engage- ment with early civil rights–era protests, examining the moments leading up to Brubeck’s cancellation of his 1960 tour of the South. In doing so, I uncover new details in Brubeck’s steps toward race activism that highlight the ways in which Brubeck leveraged his whiteness to support integration efforts, even as he simultaneously benefited from a system that privileged his voice over the voices of people of color. While Brubeck has been hailed as a civil rights advocate simply for cancelling his 1960 tour, I argue that Bru- beck’s activism worked on a deeper level, one that inspired him to adopt a new musical and promotional strategy that married commercial interests with political ideology. Brubeck’s advocacy relied on his pow- er and privilege within the mainstream music industry to craft albums and marketing approaches that promoted integration in the segregationist South. Ultimately, this period in Brubeck’s career is significant because it allows deep consideration of who Brubeck spoke for and above, who listened, and for whom his actions as a civil rights advocate were meaningful. In January 1960, white jazz pianist Dave Brubeck made headlines after twenty-two colleges and uni- versities across the American South refused to al- low his interracial quartet to perform.

  • Time Outtakes PDF Liner Notes
    TIME OUTTAKES introduction written by Douglas Brinkley ONE AFTERNOON when I visited former president Bill Clinton in Chappaqua, New York, I asked him about the rst music concert he remembered ever attending. “It was Dave Brubeck,” he answered. “I heard him live when I was 15 because we had one of the ve or six best jazz college orchestras in the country at the time, at a small state university in a little town called Arkadelphia, with a genius director named Wendell Evanson,” Clinton recalled. “He got Brubeck to come down there and do a concert in 1961. So I got a ride down there and went to the concert, and I followed him closely from then on.” Beginning with that concert, Clinton became a pupil of Brubeck’s West Coast jazz style. “I started listening to Dave’s music, trying to understand how to play it. I taught myself to play his ‘Take Five’ in 5/4 time, which was written by alto saxophonist Paul Desmond to showcase drummer Joe Morello. Even though it’s an alto song, I played it on my tenor.” “It’s interesting if you contrast him, let’s say, with some of the more atonal music – say, Yusef Lateef or Eric Dolphy.
