More than a hundred years after Brubeck’s birth\, the Brubeck Brothers unite with nationally acclaimed saxophonist Sharel Cassity to pay tribute to the legendary pianist and bandleader.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”davebrubeckseatmap”][vc_column]ADDITIONAL PROGRAM INFORMATION[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTISTS” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbea864-7f85″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]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.   \nThe Quartet’s last cd\, TimeLine\, celebrated Dave Brubeck’s famous 1958 State Department tour.  The CD received extensive airplay in major jazz markets across America and was a hit on the Jazz Week radio charts for five months.  The CD garnered dozens of stellar reviews\, among them Dr. Judith Schlesinger of AllAboutJazz who wrote of TimeLine\, “An exciting ride. These are magnificent players whose years together have forged a seasoned and well-oiled musical unit… Their joy in this playing\, and each other\, is audible.  Apart from its historic value—this is an exciting and varied outing\, recorded crisply and with great warmth. The ‘Timeline’ it reflects is not just in years\, but also in a legacy which—lucky for all of us—continues its powerful forward movement today.”  \n These versatile musicians also collaborate with or­chestras all across the U.S. as well as internationally. With Chris Brubeck’s compositions as a vehicle\, the BBQ has performed with chamber/orchestral groups such as the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra\, the Philadelphia Orchestra\, the Russian National Symphony Orchestra and the Singapore Chinese Orchestra.  \nAlthough 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. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Saxophonist\, composer and educator SHAREL CASSITY is a nationally acclaimed saxophonist prominent in the New York and Chicago jazz scenes.

This duel-threat ability was recognized by the 2022 Downbeat Critics Poll where he appeared as not only the #2 Rising Star Male Vocalist\, but a top Rising Star Trumpeter as well. His superb intonation and bracing virtuosity enable him to handle astounding feats of originally composed vocalese (complex solos with written lyrics). On top of it all\, he’s a highly capable pianist as well.  \nBenny has performed internationally as an Emcee/Host for the Youtube sensation Postmodern Jukebox\, and achieved his own viral success amassing millions of views for his crooning alongside the Grammy-award winning “8-Bit Big Band”. In early 2020 he released A Lot of Livin’ to Do\, the follow-up to his well-received 2017 debut One of a Kind. This sophomore effort\, richly varied in mood and brimming with bop inflection\, features bassist extraordinaire and Jazz ambassador Christian McBride (whose Grammy-award winning Big Band frequently calls upon Benny in the trumpet section) and drummer/producer Ulysses Owens\, Jr.\, as well as the radiant Takeshi Ohbayashi on piano and Rhodes. His vocalese duet on “Social Call” from this album alongside fellow young star vocalist Veronica Swift became an instant smash hit single\, being transcribed and learned by Jazz vocalists around the world. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]2021 JUNO Award winner Jocelyn Gould has been called “a leader in the next generation of great mainstream jazz guitarists” by Howard Paul\, CEO of Benedetto Guitars. Her joyful energy has captivated audiences around the world and her passion for music is as infectious as her unique ability to connect with audiences. Jocelyn has absorbed the influences of the jazz guitar greats and has woven them into an exciting personal sound\, citing Wes Montgomery\, Grant Green\, Joe Pass and Kenny Burrell as primary influences on the guitar. Jocelyn has performed and recorded internationally as a leader and with GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Freddy Cole\, JUNO-winning trumpeter and vocalist Bria Skonberg\, Downbeat Rising Star trombonist Michael Dease\, Etienne Charles\, Jon Gordon\, Rodney Whitaker\, Randy Napoleon and Diego Rivera.

After a short-lived pursuance in collegiate track and field at Temple University\, studying communications\, Goold transferred to the Berklee College of Music where\, unfortunately\, after one semester\, he had to withdraw for financial reasons.  Deciding not give up on his dream of becoming a jazz musician\, Goold moved back to New York City at the age of 19 and began playing in any musical situation possible. Finding success after years of hard work through teaching and performing\, Goold auditioned and received a full scholarship\, subsequently graduating from the Juilliard School along with being awarded the JCAF grant. Goold has performed with a wide variety of acts across varying styles from Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, John Hendricks and Johnny O’neal to rap icons Cam’ron\, Talib Kweli\, and Ghostface Killah.  Goold uses these experiences to propel the sound of his group Nubopcity\, a blend of hard bop\, hip hop\, funk and Afro-Caribbean influences.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe3215-263d”]FacebookInstagramSpotify[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h2″ css=”.vc_custom_1689884969418{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1689884027118{background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus” color=”#000000″]\nThank you to our 2023/2024 Season Partner G&J Pepsi. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ el_id=”singseatmap”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]\nPlease click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

Giacchino went on to score numerous video games including Spielberg’s Medal of Honor series.   \nGiacchino’s work in video games sparked the interest of J.J. Abrams\, and thus began their long-standing relationship that would lead to scores for the hit television series\nAlias and Lost\, and the feature films Mission Impossible III\, Star Trek\, Super 8 and Star Trek Into Darkness.   \nAdditional projects include collaborations with Disney Imagineering on music for Space Mountain\, Star Tours (with John Williams)\, the Ratatouille ride in Disneyland Paris\, and the Incredicoaster on Pixar Pier at California Adventure.
