Chris Brubeck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chris Brubeck, son of noted jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck, is a composer and performer in his own right. He and his brother Daniel Brubeck have joined with other musicians to form the Brubeck Brothers Quartet. While they have performed with various other musicians, as of 2006 the quartet includes Mike DeMicco on guitar, Chuck Lamb on piano, Daniel Brubeck on drums, and Chris Brubeck on Bass and Bass trombone. The quartet performs in jazz venues and with Symphony orchestras around the world.
In 2003, Chris played his first Concerto for Bass Trombone and Orchestra with the Czech national Symphony Orchestra in Prague. A year later, he composed his own concerto titled, "The Prague Concerto for Bass Trombone and Orchestra."
Many of his "classical" compositions still contain strong hints of the jazz influence of his famous father.
