Music Can Bring World's Voices Together, Catholic Jazz Icon Says
Music can bring world’s voices together, Catholic jazz icon says CINCINNATI – Music can be the language to help bring people together, crossing any nation’s boundary and driving freedom throughout the world, said jazz icon Dave Brubeck. Fifty years after the taping of his signature tune “Take Five,” the musician will be honored Dec. 6 with a lifetime achievement award from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington. In 2006 he was the recipient of the University of Notre Dame’s 2006 Laetare Medal. Brubeck, 88, discussed faith, sacred music, jazz and the importance of cross-cultural and international exchange with St. Anthony Messenger magazine in an article in the October 2009 issue. In 1958, Brubeck led his Dave Brubeck Quartet on a 14-country “goodwill” tour through Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. The following year, the group recorded “Time Out,” the first jazz album to sell more than 1 million copies. The breakthrough album featured incorporated rhythms and beats from other cultures. “Something I had wanted to do was to experiment in different time signatures,” Brubeck said, explaining that early jazz reflected “simple marching beats” and not the complicated African- and Asian-influenced rhythmic sounds of drum choruses. Time, irregular meters and music drawing on other cultural idioms figure prominently in Brubeck’s music following “Time Out”: “Time Further Out” (1961); “Countdown: Time in Outer Space” (1962); “Time Changes” (1963); and “Time In” (1965). “Jazz represents freedom, freedom musically and politically,” he said. He noted that his 1958 tour targeted countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey and India and was meant to show “how important freedom is.” “This kind of cross-cultural thing is something we should sponsor more because it is so important … to the world,” said Brubeck, who has performed for nine U.S.

Dave Brubeck's Definitive “Jazzanians”
Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 53-93 (Summer 2013) Dave Brubeck’s Definitive “Jazzanians” Vasil Cvetkov On December 5, 2012, American contemporary music lost one of its most important personalities—pianist and composer Dave Brubeck, who died one day before his 92nd birthday. His death marks the passing of one of the most creative and versatile musicians in American history. Widely known as an innovative jazz musician, Brubeck’s skills in writing and arranging music for classical ensembles went far beyond jazz traditions, making him a subject of interest and investigation for contemporary music researchers. He became an emblematic figure for those, who, like me, received a classical music upbringing and became fascinated by his ability to fuse jazz and classical sources into the specific style that eventually became his trademark. Despite having received a classical education, I have always been attracted by the jazz sound, so that discovering and demonstrating the plenitude of Brubeck's legacy became a natural research goal in my graduate studies. In planning this personal tribute to the late Dave Brubeck, I came to the conclusion that, perhaps, the most eloquent examples of his unique compositional style could be demonstrated around the story of a little tetrachord. Throughout a period of 17 years (1987-2003), it inspired Brubeck to create five important compositions and came to be known, by those who love Brubeck's music, as the “Jazzanians tetrachord.” The compositions varied in form, covering the full spectrum of jazz, classical, and fusion styles. I call these compositions “realizations.” Trying to trace Brubeck’s realizations chronologically through that 17- year period, I first examined published scores but discovered that there were mysterious gaps.

Gerry Mulligan Discography
GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

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.
