The Arts Council of Big Sky presents The Brubeck Brothers Quartet, an exciting jazz ensemble featuring two members of one of America's most accomplished musical families, with Dan Brubeck on drums and Chris Brubeck on bass and trombone, at Big Sky's Warren Miller Performing Arts Center (WMPAC) on February 20. The group will be performing a musical tribute to their late father, Dave Brubeck, in what is sure to be one of most sizzling nights of the winter. Although the quartet's style is rooted in "straight-ahead" jazz, their concerts reveal an inherent ability to explore and play odd time signatures while naturally integrating the influences of funk, blues and world music. The group's creativity, technique and improvisation can be heard in their uncompromising music, which reflects their dedication to melody, rhythm, culture and the spontaneous spirit of jazz. This concert is brought to WMPAC by the Arts Council of Big Sky. WMPAC is located on the campus of Ophir School in Big Sky's Gallatin Canyon. Tickets range from $15-35 and doors open at 6:30 p.m., show starts at 7:30 p.m. For more information and/or tickets, go to http://www.warrenmillerpac.org/.
