Combining complex rhythms, tones and key signatures with a West Coast Cool sound, Dave Brubeck has long been proof that creative and popular jazz can be synonymous. A favorite with critics and fans alike, Brubeck has been redefining jazz music for over 50 years, since his days with General Patton's Army Band during WWII. He is credited as a force in rebirth of jazz in the 1950s and '60s, taking the popular Dave Brubeck Quartet on tour with greats such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Getz, and composing standards such as 'Take Five,' now featured in the Grammy Hall of Fame, and 'Blue Rondo A La Turk.'
On the surface, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald may seem to be a pair of musical artists with vastly different approaches to song. Armstrong's gravely voice might be viewed as diametrically opposed to the perfect pitch beauty of Ella's vocal instrument. But if we look, or rather hear more deeply, we discover not only musical conceptions that cooperate without antagonism, but a profound sensibility of swing at the heart of what makes jazz a universally acclaimed idiom around the world. Their collaborations on the Verve label are masterpieces to be experienced time and time again, with new revelations surfacing upon each listen. Your time will be well spent, and your very soul enriched tonight. We promise!

Before jazz had a name and 'world music' was a concept, a young trumpet player emerged from another hemisphere and landed alongside some of the greatest icons in American music. Louis Armstrong sent him a trumpet. Harry Belafonte arranged for him to come to New York City to study music. Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis took him under their wings. That man, Hugh Masekela, born out of apartheid South Africa, has consistently toured worldwide and his genre-bending dynamism has led to his own icon status. His uncategorizable sound comes to life on his October 2010 North American tour.
