The Definitive, Investigative Biography Of Jazz Legend Dave Brubeck (Take Five)In 2003, Music Journalist Philip Clark Was Granted Unparalleled Access To Jazz Legend Dave Brubeck.

Brubeck Opened Up As Never Before, Disclosing His Unique Approach To Jazz; The Heady Days Of His Classic Quartet In The 1950S60S; Hanging Out With Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, And Miles Davis; And The Many Controversies That Had Dogged His 66YearLong Career.Alongside Beloved Figures Like Ella Fitzgerald And Frank Sinatra, BrubeckS Music Has Achieved Name Recognition Beyond Jazz. But Finding A Convincing Fit For BrubeckS Legacy, One That Reconciles His Mass Popularity With His Advanced Musical Technique, Has Proved Largely Elusive. In Dave Brubeck: A Life In Time, Clark Provides Us With A Thoughtful, Thorough, And LongOverdue Biography Of An Extraordinary Man Whose Influence Continues To Inform And Inspire Musicians Today.Structured Around ClarkS Extended Interview And Intensive New Research, This Book Tells One Of The Last Untold Stories Of Jazz, Unearthing The Secret History Of Take Five And Many Hitherto Unknown Aspects Of BrubeckS Early Career And About His Creative Relationship With His Star Saxophonist Paul Desmond. Woven Throughout Are Cameo Appearances From A Host Of Unlikely Figures From Sting, Ray Manzarek Of The Doors, And Keith Emerson, To John Cage, Leonard Bernstein, Harry Partch, And Edgard Varse. Each Chapter Explores A Different Theme Or Aspect Of BrubeckS Life And Music, Illuminating The Core Of His Artistry And Genius. To Quote President Obama, As He Awarded The Musician With A Kennedy Center Honor: You CanT Understand America Without Understanding Jazz, And You CanT Understand Jazz Without Understanding Dave Brubeck.
