Dave Brubeck, Part 1

His was the first jazz album to sell over a million copies. But his music – noted for its odd time signatures – was somehow accessible and hummable. And with his signature quartet, he became a pioneer of the “cool” jazz movement. Stick around. Because you’re about to meet pianist, composer and jazz innovator Dave Brubeck.
As part of the Peabody Award-winning documentary series “Jazz Profiles,” this presentation about Dave Brubeck was produced in 1996 by Dan Gediman – and narrated by the show host Nancy Wilson.
