SUMMARY:Brubeck for Kids:  A Hands-on Jazz Exploration Workshop at Wilton Historical Society CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED \nCider Mill School music teacher Cheryll Ryder and museum educator Katherine Karlick will lead an engaging intro to jazz and the legacy of Wilton’s own jazz man\, Dave Brubeck\, in the Wilton Historical Society presentation\, “Brubeck for Kids: A Hands-on Jazz Exploration Workshop.” \nBrubeck’s innovative combinations of rhythms and meters\, as evidenced on his 1959 Take Five album (the greatest selling jazz record of all time) will be the inspiration for this workshop. Children will explore three music stations:  working with keyboards and headphones to try their hand at adding a musical score to visual images\, as if they are writing a score for a movie; working with xylophones; and investigating new sounds with rhythm instruments. 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: Hot and Cool Jazz Concert with Taylor Eigsti
DESCRIPTION:On International Jazz Day 2021\, Wilton Library will broadcast its first Hot & Cool jazz concert since the season was interrupted after the smashing two-set concert of Brubecks Play Brubeck in January 2020. \nPianist Taylor Eigsti performed at Millstone – then the long-time home of jazz legend Dave Brubeck. Indeed\, Taylor works his magic on Dave’s grand piano in the dramatic two-story music room where Dave composed so much of his famous music. Wilton resident Chris Brubeck\, an award-winning composer\, and superlative trombonist and bassist\, also sat in and jammed with Taylor on a few tunes. This will be a very special one-time concert broadcast. \nThere is a non-refundable $20 fee per “ticket” (the Zoom invitation link) that is part of the registration process. This concert event was made possible through the generosity of an anonymous donor. Visit the Wilton Library website for more details and to register.

SUMMARY:Wilton Library: Virtual Brubeck Brothers Quartet Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Trustees of Wilton Library invite you to join us online for a very special concert broadcast featuring the Brubeck Brothers Quartet. This concert is being offered completely for free as the Wilton Library’s gift of thanks to the town for the holidays. \nThe concert was recorded earlier this summer in the library’s Brubeck Room before a limited-size\, live audience in conjunction with the various festivities surrounding the dedication of The Brubeck Collection at Wilton Library. \nMusicians Chris and Dan Brubeck\, sons of jazz giant Dave Brubeck\, head a versatile band with guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb. 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. They’ve played a variety of styles in a number of different groups as well as with their father and their dynamic Brubeck Brothers Band. Although 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. \nOnline registration is required in order to receive the Zoom invitation link. \nThe concert and The Brubeck Collection dedication event were sponsored by Fairfield County Bank.

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.

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:Hot & Cool Jazz: The Jerry Bergonzi Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library in the Brubeck Room for the Jerry Bergonzi Quartet featuring Jerry Bergonzi on tenor sax\, Harvie S on acoustic bass\, Bruce Barth on piano\, and Jason Tiemann on drums. \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. The suggested donation is $10. Each registration is for one name only; register each member of a party separately. Pre-registrants should arrive by 3:50 p.m. to be guaranteed seating; wait-listed and walk-in registrants will be admitted after 3:50 p.m. if space is available. There will be a reception following the concert with CDs available for sale and signing. \nBergonzi is a tenor saxophonist\, composer\, author and educator who was introduced to the world of jazz by one its legends — Dave Brubeck. In the 1970s\, he toured with the Two Generations of Brubeck band that featured Dave and the three Brubeck sons: Darius\, Chris\, and Dan. Later in that decade\, he also held the sax chair in the Dave Brubeck Quartet. On the faculty of the New England Conservatory for the last 20 years\, Bergonzi teaches improvisation in ensemble settings as well as one-on-one. He still plays two weekly gigs in the Boston area and tours 130 days a year playing his own music. \nHarvie S is back in the Brubeck Room for his seventh performance — most recently in 2019 with Alan Broadbent. Harvie is an award-winning bassist\, educator\, composer\, arranger\, and producer. He has played with many of the biggest names in jazz [the list is too long to spell out] and has performed in a wide variety of jazz festivals around the globe as well as in such venues as The Blue Note\, The Iridium\, and the Kennedy Center. \nTiemann is a New York City-based jazz drummer who maintains a busy schedule as a freelance performer and educator. Admittedly drawing influence from the greats Philly Joe Jones\, Tony Williams\, Elvin Jones\, and Billy Higgins\, Tiemann is quickly forging his musical voice on the New York scene by fusing his depth of historical foundation with crisp technique and propulsive\, intuitive swing. \nJazz pianist and composer Barth has been sharing his music with listeners the world over for more than two decades. He has performed on over 100 recordings and movie soundtracks. He is equally at home playing solo piano\, leading an all-star septet and composing for a variety of ensembles. He has performed with James Moody\, Art Farmer\, Phil Woods\, Tony Bennett\, Branford Marsalis\, and Wynton Marsalis among many others.

SUMMARY:Hot & Cool Jazz: Chris Brubeck's Triple Play
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library on Sunday\, May 7 at 4:00 p.m. for the next Hot & Cool Jazz concert 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. \nWait-list spots only. Pre-registrants should arrive by 3:50 p.m. to be guaranteed seating; wait-listed and walk-in registrants will be admitted after 3:50 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+ 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. \nRegister on the Wilton Library’s website.

SUMMARY:1959 in Jazz History with Gil Harel: Coltrane's Giant Steps
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library for the third 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 \nThe year 1959 was an exceptionally busy year for John Coltrane. Indeed\, the iconic saxophone player and composer was featured prominently on Kind of Blue (the style of that record — modal jazz — would be one that Coltrane would revisit in subsequent years). Later in the year\, he recorded an album that would become one of the most influential in the genre: Giant Steps. The name of the album proved apropos. The unprecedented chord progressions and improvisational patterns leap rose Coltrane’s status to that of a legend. Even today\, multiple tracks on the record remain standard practice templates for aspiring saxophone players. Join Professor Harel in diving into this massively influential album’s history and score. \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.

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.
