The Brubeck Brothers Quartet is an exciting jazz group featuring two members of one of America’s most accomplished musical families, Daniel Brubeck (drums,) and Chris Brubeck (bass & trombone.) Guitarist Mike DeMicco, and pianist Chuck Lamb, complete this dynamic quartet. The BBQ were invited to kick off the 2006 New Year with an hour long, coast-to-coast live broadcast on “Toast of the Nation” on National Public Radio, which was subsequently re-broadcast on Dee Dee Bridgewater's Jazzset on NPR. In April, 2006, they performed at Sierra Nevada's Sierra CenterStage in Chico, California with special guest star Dave Brubeck. The BBQ have performed at concert series, colleges, and jazz festivals across North America and Europe including the Detroit, Ravinia, Las Vegas, Sedona, Spokane & Monterey Jazz Festivals. These versatile musicians also collaborate with orchestras, and in August, 2005 ignited the Salt Lake City Jazz Festival by playing with the Utah Symphony conducted by Keith Lockhart. With Chris Brubeck’s compositions as a vehicle, the BBQ has joined with chamber groups to collaborate with musicians from the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Russian National Symphony Orchestra. 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.
