SUMMARY:Remembering Dave:  A Brubeck Family Album
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of jazz legend – and Wilton’s own — Dave Brubeck\, the Wilton Historical Society will present a special exhibit\, Remembering Dave: A Brubeck Family Album. Opening Friday\, Feb. 21\, the exhibition will run through April 18\, 2020. \nWhen he bestowed upon the jazz great the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor at the White House in 2009\, President Barack Obama stated\, “In order to understand America\, you have to understand jazz\, and in order to understand jazz\, you have to understand Dave Brubeck.”  As a pianist\, bandleader and composer\, Dave Brubeck (1920-2012) is widely acknowledged as one of America’s most significant post-swing era jazz musicians\, creating a body of music that was bold and accessible. \nAll are invited to the opening reception on Friday\, Feb. 21\, from 4-6 p.m. (no charge). The exhibition incorporates material from the Dave Brubeck:  Jazz Ambassador show\, which detailed his illustrious 70-year career and was presented at Jazz at Lincoln Center soon after Brubeck’s death\, and highlights other facets of his life such as his impact as a composer\, a performer\, a civil rights activist and as family man. \nThe Remembering Dave: A Brubeck Family Album exhibition presents additional material that speaks to Dave’s life in Wilton with his wife Iola\, and six kids\, including musicians Darius\, Chris and Dan. Growing up on a vast ranch in California\, he learned to ride\, how to be a cowboy; visitors will be able to see a Western-style saddle that belonged to his father\, as well as Dave’s cowboy hat. A highlight of the exhibition is the opportunity to see a new short film produced by the Brubeck family which contains rare footage of “Cowboy Dave.” Another section of the film shows Wilton composer\, lyricist\, pianist\, and educator Eugenie Rocherolle interviewing fellow musician Dave Brubeck. \nEntrance is free for Wilton Historical Society members; entry is $10 for non-member adults\, and free for children under 18. \nDave Brubeck 100 is the world-wide celebration of the 100th birthday of Dave Brubeck\, the jazz composer\, pianist\, cultural ambassador\, and visionary musician\, which will take place on Dec. 6\, 2020.

SUMMARY:Brubeck for Kids:  A Hands-on Jazz Exploration Workshop at Wilton Historical Society CANCELLED

A guided tour of “Remembering Dave: A Brubeck Family Album” exhibition is included\, as is a snack. \nSuggested for children ages 6-12. Cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10; non-members are $15. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know?\nPresident Barack Obama stated\, “In order to understand America\, you have to understand jazz\, and in order to understand jazz\, you have to understand Dave Brubeck\,” when he bestowed the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor upon the jazz great at the White House in 2009.

SUMMARY:Wilton Library: Dave Brubeck's Time Out- A Conversation Between Stephen Crist and Gil Harel
DESCRIPTION:To continue the celebration of the recent ribbon-cutting for The Brubeck Collection at Wilton Library – and celebrate Dave Brubeck‘s birthday! – please join the library online for an engaging conversation between author and music historian Stephen Crist and musicologist Gil Harel. On Thursday\, Dec. 6 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm they will discuss Dave Brubeck’s iconic album “Time Out” as well as Brubeck’s music and life. Professor Crist of Emory University literally “wrote the book” on this album and he sat down for a discussion with Gil Harel from Naugatuck Valley Community College. \nTheir discussion was recorded in October in the library’s new archive room in conjunction with the ribbon-cutting for The Brubeck Collection at Wilton Library. A recording of the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be broadcast as an introduction to the program starting at 6:30 pm with the Crist and Harel program beginning around 7 pm. \nStephen A. Crist is Chair of the Music Department at Emory University where he is also Professor of Music History. He works largely in European music of the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries\, with additional interests in hymnody and jazz. His most recent book is Dave Brubeck’s Time Out (Oxford University Press\, 2019). Professor Crist received his Ph.D. (music history) from Brandeis University\, after an M.M. (music theory) from the University of South Florida\, and a B.A. (English and American literature and language) from Harvard University. \nGil Harel\, Associate Professor of Music at Naugatuck Valley Community College\, is a musicologist and music theorist whose interests include styles ranging from renaissance madrigals to modal jazz of the 1960s. Previously\, he served on the faculty at CUNY Baruch College where he was awarded the prestigious “Presidential Excellence Award for Distinguished Teaching.” At NVCC\, Dr. Harel conducts the college chorale\, a cappella ensemble\, and renaissance madrigal choir. He also teaches music history\, music theory\, ear training\, and serves as musical director of theater productions. \nOnline registration is required in order to receive the Zoom invitation link.

SUMMARY:Wilton Library Author Talk: Philip Clark — Dave Brubeck: A Life in Time (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library for an in-person presentation by Philip Clark\, author of the acclaimed biography\, Dave Brubeck: A Life in Time. First published in 2020\, the centennial of Brubeck’s birth\, a new expanded edition has just come out in the U.K. with a U.S. release to follow. \nClark will discuss the backstory about how his book came into being and fill us in on the expanded content in his new edition along with busting some myths about the jazz legend. He will also incorporate musical examples to illustrate how many of Dave’s grooves and harmonies have seeped into rock\, pop\, reggae\, hip-hop and more. We’ll hear how Dave’s influences have landed in places where jazz musicians and composers don’t typically leave their marks. \nClark is a music journalist and author who has written for many leading publications including The Wire\, Gramophone\, The Guardian\, Jazzwise\, Financial Times and London Review of Books. He is trained as a composer\, but these days prefers to play improvised music. \nRegistration is required. Register online or call 203.762.6334.

SUMMARY:Hot & Cool Jazz: Chris Brubeck's Triple Play — POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed until Sunday\, May 7\, 2023. \nPlease join Wilton Library on Thursday night\, Sept. 1 for the first Hot & Cool Jazz concert since January 2020\, featuring Triple Play\, a trio of three outstanding and versatile musicians: Peter Madcat Ruth (on harmonica\, guitar\, jaw harp\, percussion & vocals)\, Joel Brown (folk and classical acoustic guitar and vocals)\, and Chris Brubeck (electric bass\, bass trombone\, piano & vocals). Collectively they bring a rare level of joy\, virtuosity\, and American spirit to the folk\, blues\, jazz and classical music they perform. \nHot & Cool Jazz is brought to you by the generosity of the Estate of James (Tom) and Alice Brown. \nAdvance registration is strongly recommended. Register online or call 203.762.6334. Suggested donation is $10. Each registration is for one name only; register each member of a party separately. Pre-registrants should arrive by 6:50 p.m. to be guaranteed seating; wait-listed and walk-in registrants will be admitted after 6:50 p.m. if space is available. There will be a reception following the concert with CDs available for sale and signing. \nTriple Play’s musical roots go way back (50-plus years) in each member’s history. Brubeck and Ruth have toured and recorded together in different settings since 1969\, first as young rock musicians in the group “New Heavenly Blue” (with albums on RCA and Atlantic Records)\, “Sky King” (on Columbia)\, and then as jazz musicians touring the world with Dave Brubeck. Paul deBarros\, writer for The Seattle Times and Downbeat\, commented after seeing a performance at the Monterey Jazz Festival: “Triple Play is what jazz always was and always should be about: good-time rhythm\, unbridled joy and the sweet release but bittersweet aftertaste of the blues.” \nDave Brubeck’s last recorded performance was captured on the exciting “Triple Play Live at Arthur Zankel Music Center.” The crowd is wildly enthusiastic on this well-reviewed CD\, which also featured Joel Brown’s father\, Frank Brown on clarinet. You can often hear this innovative version of “Take Five” featuring Ruth’s polyrhythmic jaw harp and burning solos by Dave\, Joel and Chris on Sirius XM Jazz. Triple Play’s music has international reach\, as they were a hit playing with The Singapore Chinese Orchestra and returned for a second performance\, which was recorded and released on Blue Forest Records. “It all fits together because of the talent and taste of the musicians\, who groove no matter what they’re doing — and it’s tremendous fun\, to boot\,” said All About Jazz.

SUMMARY:1959 in Jazz History with Gil Harel: Davis' Kind of Blue
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library for the first program of a new four-part series with Dr. Gil Harel on the seminal jazz albums of 1959. The series will run as follows: \n3/20/24: Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue\n4/10/24: Dave Brubeck’s Time Out\n5/22/24: John Coltrane’s Giant Steps\n6/19/24: Jazz Post-1959 Diverging Paths \nThe year 1959 might be described as no less than a seismic year for jazz. Indeed\, this relatively short stretch bore witness to the release of many iconic\, innovative\, and forward-looking albums. Celebrated figures including Miles Davis\, John Coltrane\, Dave Brubeck\, Charles Mingus\, Ornette Coleman\, and more wrote and performed at this time.

SUMMARY:Jazz Post-1959: Diverging Paths
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library for the final program of their new four-part series with Dr. Gil Harel on the seminal jazz albums of 1959. The series will run as follows: \n3/20/24: Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue\n4/10/24: Dave Brubeck’s Time Out\n5/22/24: John Coltrane’s Giant Steps\n6/18/24: Jazz Post-1959 Diverging Paths \nJazz historians and scholars often point to 1959 as a watershed year. Indeed\, the volume and breadth of the music created in that single year has perhaps few analogues in jazz — or any other genre\, for that matter. During this program\, Professor Harel will therefore consider the critical and artistic impact of the seminal albums of 1959. In doing so\, he also discusses the trajectories pursued by the artists who made the year so special. Subsequently\, three distinct and markedly divergent directions can be analyzed. This discussion will consider them through the important works of three celebrated musicians: John Coltrane\, Miles Davis\, and Dave Brubeck. \nHarel (PhD\, Brandeis University) is a musicologist and music theorist whose interests include styles ranging from the western classical repertoire to jazz. Currently\, he is Full Professor of Music at CT State Naugatuck Valley\, where he received the AFT “Merit Award for Exemplary Service to the College” for 6 consecutive years. At NVCC\, Dr. Harel additionally conducts the college chorale\, a cappella ensemble\, teaches music history and theory\, and serves as musical director of theater productions. \nRegister online or call 203.762.6334.
