Overview

Dave Brubeck - A Life in Jazz and Time From the wide-open fields of Concord, California, to concert halls where audiences sat counting along to rhythms they'd never heard before, Dave Brubeck: A Life in Jazz and Time traces the remarkable journey of a musician who changed how the world listens. In these pages, Brubeck recounts how a ranch kid with a stubborn left hand and a restless imagination grew into one of jazz's most innovative voices-shaped by classical mentors, wartime service, cross-country tours, and a lifelong belief that music could bridge divides others thought unbridgeable. Here, the legendary Quartet comes alive again-Paul's feather-light saxophone lines, Joe's rhythmic daredevilry, Eugene's grounding pulse-and so do the adventures that led to Time Out, Take Five, and decades of rhythmic exploration. With warmth, candor, and a pianist's eye for detail, Brubeck reflects on faith, family, daring experiments, unexpected breakthroughs, and the belief that jazz is not a museum piece but an ongoing conversation: spacious, courageous, and deeply human. Part memoir, part musical map, part meditation on creativity, A Life in Jazz and Time invites readers to listen differently-to the world, to each other, and to the rhythms that shape a life well-lived.
