My name is Father Jeffrey Walker. I met Chris and Dan back in the mid-seventies here in Sewanee, Tennessee. Later, I had the honor of having them both play a concert at my parish in Connecticut. Of course, their legendary father was the reason for the concert.
I had tickets and was prepared to drive from Sewanee to Houston, my old home town, to be in person for the evening at Stude. unfortunately I had a health issue that prevented me from being there. I was beyond grateful that the concert was live streamed for free. All of it was amazing even through the speakers on my laptop. Dan's solo on Take Five was light years away from that initial solo by Joe Morello, as beautiful as that was. Dan's solo was thoughtfully built, section upon section and had great dynamics as well. I'd love to know how he came upon that extra snareless snare drum to his left.
I loved the enthusiasm of the Chamber Choir. They seemed to love the Brubeck Brothers Quartet as much as us jazz people. A super night that would have been even better for me if I could have made the road trip. Somebody who reads these reviews......please tell Chris and Dan hello for me. I was Rector of Christ Church Greenwich when they came to play along with their Dad. Thanks, The Rev'd Jeffrey H. Walker+

Brubeck Brothers Quartet Biography
Chris and Dan Brubeck have been making music together practically all their lives. Drummer Dan and bassist, trombonist, and composer Chris cut their first record together in 1966—nearly a half century ago. They’ve subsequently played a variety of styles in a number of different groups, as well as with their father, jazz giant Dave Brubeck, and with their own Brubeck Brothers Quartet. With Dan and Chris as the foundation, guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb, complete this dynamic quartet. They perform at concert series, colleges, and jazz festivals across North America and Europe including the Newport, Detroit, Montreal, Playboy/Hollywood Bowl, and Monterey Jazz Festivals. The Quartet’s last cd, LifeTimes was a hit on the Jazz Week radio chart where it made the Top Ten list as one of the most played jazz recordings of the year.
“The playing that takes place on LifeTimes – the wondrous combination of swing, melodic majesty, masterful arrangements and a truckload of truly inspirational solos – just adds a vibrancy and color to songs I thought I knew and loved on a deep level. It turns out that there was still plenty of depth I could have discovered. I just needed someone to point the way and that is exactly what these four gentleman have done through LifeTimes.” – Seattle Times
These versatile musicians also collaborate with orchestras all across the U.S. as well as internationally, including performing with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra and the Russian National Orchestra. With Chris Brubeck’s compositions as a vehicle, the BBQ has joined with chamber groups to collaborate with musicians from the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Russian National Symphony Orchestra.
Although the Quartet’s style is rooted in “straight-ahead” jazz, their concerts reveal an inherent ability to explore and play odd time signatures while naturally integrating the influences of funk, blues and world music. The group’s creativity, technique and improvisation can be heard in their uncompromising music, which reflects their dedication to melody, rhythm, culture and the spontaneous spirit of jazz.
