The music was transporting. It was tight. It was lyrical. It was involving and interesting. It was meditative and imaginative. The music was crafted with knowledge and performed with care and precision. The concert venue was outdoors on the beautiful Weir Farm National Park in Wilton, Connecticut on one of the most gorgeous days I have seen in fifteen years of residence here. It was the day after the trail of hurricane Hannah had blown through the state washing it with a deluge of rain. The air was clean, the sky was clear with a few high clouds and the day was precisely poised on the cusp of summer and fall at once both cool in the shade and just glowing warm in the sun. The Brubeck Brothers Quartet (BBQ for short) played almost non-stop for 2 & ½ hours from 4:00 to 6:30pm to an intimate, picnicking audience of about 500 composed of families and jazz aficionados. It was jazz on a late summer's day in the great state of Connecticut. Dave Brubeck himself, a long-time resident of Wilton, was in attendance without fanfare. He must have been a proud and joyous father to hear his two sons carrying on the tradition of third stream, intelligent jazz which builds bridges to classical music. This is the third annual concert at the Weir Farm National Historic Site that I have attended to listen to the Brubeck Brothers play. Mike DeMicco joins Chris(bass & trombone) and Dan( drums) on guitar and Chuck Lamb on piano. All four have serious compositional abilities. They have improved significantly each year, and this time it is clear to this listener that they have moved into the big time of contemporary jazz quartet music. I was moved to buy their latest CD titled Classified which I am listening to as I write this rapturous review. If you miss listening to melodic, rhythmic, involving and transcendent jazz, buy this CD and your heart, mind and ears will soar. Praise be to beautiful music played in beautiful places on beautiful days and to the power that makes this world possible!
