TAKE FIVE: THE DAVE BRUBECK STORY Set for Brighton Concert Hall
BRENDAN FITZGERALD QUARTET recreates the world of iconic jazz musician Dave Brubeck, his genius, his relationships, his humanity and popular acclaim. In 1959, Dave Brubeck Quartet's album, "Time Out" became the first platinum jazz disc. Their composition "Take Five", remains the highest selling jazz instrumental of all time.
Brendan narrates the story at the piano together with a projected montage of images from Brubeck's life. Andy Firth (Feb 19th, 21st and 22nd) / Peter Raidel (March 14th), internationally acclaimed saxophonist, performs the music of Paul Desmond, Brubeck's creative ally and sometime adversary. This ensemble comprises four outstanding musicians. Satomi Ohnishi, drums and Quinton Dunne, double bass, join the quartet for this unique event.
'It is the type of show that gives the best of both worlds, taking us back to a time when music was sophisticated, allowing us to relive the moment in the present.' (Glam Adelaide)
