Dave Brubeck & Ansel Adams

[Frank Lopes]

If you admire Jazz, you know who Dave Brubeck is.

Part of a festival to celebrate 50 years of his release of "Take Five" (probably the most famous jazz piece ever), he and his son have composed a 22 minute piece entitled "Ansel Adams: America".

The composition is performed for the first time in Stockton California and it was inspired by Ansel Adams' most famous photographs: Half Dome in Yosemite, Merced River, Great Falls coming down, Quiet Meadows etc.

The multi-media show takes place April 3 and it will be performed at the University of the Pacific's Faye Spanos Concert Hall.

If you love jazz and live close by, don't miss it.

Dang, a couple of my favorites! Makes me want to go home to Modesto where I grew up (it's just a few miles down 99 highway from Stockton)... Have spent many hours listening and learning from both of them!
Thanks for the heads up!
