Stude Concert Hall, Rice University

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+
