	PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Dave Brubeck
		Dave Brubeck received early training in classical music from his mother, a pianist, and by the age of 13 was performing professionally with local jazz groups.
		Brubeck's quartet was immensely popular on college campuses in the 1950s; the album Jazz at Oberlin, recorded in concert at that college in 1953, contains some of Brubeck's (and especially Desmond's) finest improvisations.
		Brubeck, who considers himself in essence "a composer who plays the piano," has written and, in some instances, recorded several large-scale compositions since the 1960s, including two ballets, a musical, an oratorio, four cantatas, a mass, works for jazz group and orchestra, and many pieces for solo piano.

		Brubeck joined with his sons Darius (keyboards), Chris (electric bass and bass trombone), and Danny (drums) in Two Generations of Brubeck in the 1970s.

		Brubeck largely ignored the critics, while their bleatings were mostly drowned out by the audience's applause and the ka-ching of the cash register.
		NOW AT 85, DAVE BRUBECK is still on the road, still losing his baggage at airports, still arriving at hotels that have lost his registration, still waiting for the promoter's van that never shows up.
		The road: it has been the undoing of many a great musician, but Brubeck and his constant travel companion and wife of 63 years Iola (the "smartest girl in school" whom Dave proposed to the night of their first date) take it all in stride, enjoying each show like it will be their last.

	The Dave Brubeck Quartet's 50th Anniversary Jazz at Oberlin
		Jazz at Oberlin, recorded live by the Dave Brubeck Quartet during a 1953 Finney Chapel performance, earned a place in the annals of jazz history as a significant album not only for Mr.
		Brubeck, whose reputation as an innovative and original musician it secured, but also for the genre itself, extending its boundaries from the nightclub to the college campus.
		The distinctive harmonic approach that pianist Brubeck employed with his 1953 quartet—Desmond on alto sax, Lloyd Davis on drums, and Ron Crotty on bass—plus their daring improvised contrapuntal choruses, caused a stir in the jazz world, launching what later became known as "West Coast" or "cool" jazz.

		Onstage at Villa Montalvo, Brubeck tore into several uptempo tunes, his emphasis on thundering block chords and mixed meters, while alto saxophonist Bobby Militello played cathedrals of fire on the horn, which stood far apart from Paul Desmond's quieter touch in the '50s.

		With the success of his Dave Brubeck Quartet in the 50's and 60's and the incredible public response to their style of playing, pianist Dave Brubeck was at once embraced by the public but spurned by jazz critics.
		In 1954, just three years after the founding of the Quartet with himself, Desmond, drummer Joe Dodge, and bassist Bob Bates, Brubeck became the first jazz musician to be featured on the cover of Time magazine, which heralded Brubeck as the leader of "the birth of a new kind of jazz age in the U.S.".
		He persists as a grand old man of jazz, however, by both participating in periodic reunions or forays into popular jazz and by suffusing his compositions with jazz influences.

	DAVE BRUBECK
		Jazz was the fractured picture given of Dave Brubeck and his contributions to jazz.
		Brubeck’s actual piano style was distinguished by his use of “block chording,” in which the hands lock into chords which are repeated – often rapidly – in ascending or descending figures.
		I credit Brubeck for refusing to stay in the mold fashioned by his amazing popular success – for trying new musical contexts at the end of the ’50s – but he was by then a leading member of the jazz establishment and no longer a young rebel exploring the outer realms of jazz.
