The pianist and composer Dave Brubeck represents the idea of cultural exchange as a basis for musical inter-cultural communication. He commbines European concert music, as well as so-called non-European music, with acculturated jazz music. He also has a special interest in the integration of improvisation and composition. Occupying a large innovative space in Brubeck's sonoric harmonies are block chords, and, in the metric-rhythmic sphere, the "time experiments" with asymmetrical rhythms: "Essentially I'm a composer who plays the piano" (Brubeck). This book is a detailed survey of his improvisations, compositions and recordings.…mehr

Rezensionen
"Milhaud's student, Brubeck, was the only one who opened jazz to serious European composition techniques, øand! naturalized uneven metric forms into jazz. Ilse Storb's pioneering work, the first extensive portrayal of Brubeck's life and compositions, expounds the formal palette of his composing, cites numerous works unfamiliar to us (cantatas, oratorios), and contains, in addition, a professionally made discography...compiled by Klaus-Gotthard Fischer." (Neue Zeitschrift für Musik)
"Ilse Storb and Klaus-Gotthard Fischer have...published an easily readable yet nevertheless academically grounded book about Brubeck and his music." (Radio Hessen 1990)
"This book about the music of David Brubeck differs essentially from previous books published about jazz musicians.... Richly informative material and musical examples." (Jazz-Zeitung)
