Artists: 

Born in Oakland in 1955, Dan Brubeck was a highly energetic child who found his calling at the trap set.  Over the years Dan was featured on nearly a dozen albums with his father, Dave Brubeck, and toured widely with the Quartet, including many appearances with the world’s leading orchestras. He’s been an integral part of the various Brubeck bands, including the Darius Brubeck Ensemble, Two Generations of Brubeck, and the New Brubeck Quartet. 

Dan’s drumming style is both mesmerizing and unparalleled, and his distinctive and astonishingly textured drum solos have received standing ovations all over the world! His uncanny sense of timing and use of odd time signatures, combining melodic phrases with polyrhythms that often stretch far beyond the bar line, has earned the respect of many jazz critics worldwide. His mastery of complex rhythms has led to his reputation as one of the most talented and creative drummers in jazz!

Dan continues to perform and record with his siblings—Chris Brubeck, (bassist, trombonist, and noted composer), Darius Brubeck (pianist/composer) and Matt Brubeck (cellist).  Dan also tours with his own Vancouver-based groups, the Dan Brubeck Quartet and Dan Brubeck Trio. In 2015, the Dan Brubeck Quartet, featuring vocal powerhouse Adam Thomas, released the recording Celebrating the Music and Lyrics of Dave and Iola Brubeck, which showcases his father’s music and little-known lyrics of his mother.

All ages.
