Dan has recorded and toured the world extensively with Dave Brubeck. Dan's original drumming style, distinctive solos, and his mastery of polyrhythms have earned him the respect of critics worldwide. "Dan's extended drum solo adds a display of drama, potency and virtuosity..." -Downbeat Magazine About The Dan Brubeck Quartet's New CD The Dan Brubeck Quartet is an internationally recognized group that resides in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their recent CD, "Celebrating the Music of Dave and Iola Brubeck", features the talents of Adam Thomas on vocals and bass, Tony Foster on piano, and Steve Kaldestad on saxophone. It is Juno-nominated for best jazz vocal album of the year. This live CD pays homage to the music and lyrics of Dave and Iola Brubeck. The group draws from some of the most recognizable Brubeck standards, to more obscure songs that are representative of the life and work of Dave and Iola's 70 year partnership. Dan and Adam searched through the Brubeck archives and picked the songs with lyrics that resonated the best for Adam's unique, soulful voice. The music has been overwhelmingly well received by audiences and critics alike. "This (recording)...does honor to the music of the Brubecks. It's good to hear these classics presented here with love and vitality." -George Fendel, Jazz Society of Oregon "There are some great love stories in the music business, but none greater - or longerlasting - than Dave and Iola Brubeck... a labor of love on many levels, and it shows." -James Hale, Downbeat Magazine "With heartfelt devotion, drummer/composer Dan Brubeck pays tribute to his parents... with his new, consummately crafted, unpretentious release. The album shines well-merited limelight on the largely unsung but gifted Iola Brubeck." -Owen McNally, WNPR write your comments about the article :: © 2016 Jazz News :: home page |
