Dave Brubeck (1920-2012)

Dave Brubeck, composerAlthough Dave Brubeck possesses one of the finest pianistic gifts in the entire jazz world and has performed with his trio and quartet throughout his career to worldwide ovations, he considers himself “a composer who plays the piano.” For many decades a contemporary jazz icon, he has also been a pioneer in combining jazz with symphony orchestra and large choral forces. A California native, son of a cowboy/rancher father and a classical-pianist mother who was a pupil of two of the century’s great piano masters, Tobias Matthay and Dame Myra Hess, Brubeck majored in music for his undergraduate degree. He returned from service during the Second World War to study composition with Darius Milhaud, who encouraged him to pursue both jazz performance and composition. Brubeck began by writing for his quartet. His first work for orchestra was Elementals (1963), combining jazz and symphony orchestra, and his first major choral work, The Light in the Wilderness (1967), was both premiered and recorded by the Cincinnati Symphony. In the 1950s, as his quartet was in constant demand throughout the country and especially on college and university campuses, Brubeck began to integrate irregular meters and jazz forms. His own Blue Rondo a la Turk reflected that development, and the work was included on the album Time Out, along with the 1959 recording of Paul Desmond’s Take Five, the first jazz instrumental record to reach sales of one million. Among Brubeck’s major works written since the ’60s are two ballets; a musical; the mass setting To Hope! A Celebration; several oratorios and cantatas; the Chromatic Fantasy Sonata, inspired by Bach and premiered at Washington’s Kennedy Center by the classical chamber group An die Musik; and numerous piano pieces and orchestral works. Brubeck is a recipient of many honors and awards—including a Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences—and the National Medal of the Arts was presented to him by President Clinton in 1994. In 2000, he was elected to the American Jazz Masters, a group recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts for unparalleled achievements and contributions to this American art form of jazz. In 2008, he received a Benjamin Franklin Award for Public Diplomacy. And, in 2009, he was bestowed a Kennedy Center Honor, one of the United States's most prestigious awards recognizing outstanding achievement in the performing arts.
