"Orchestral power and vocal lyricism!" The New York Times "Pepe Romero makes his guitar talk to itself!" The Los Angeles Times Thursday, July 25, 8:00 PM, CGC-UCC BRUBECK BROTHERS QUARTET Chris and Dan Brubeck had the unique privilege of growing up listening to, studying with and eventually playing alongside one of the great jazz legends of our time, their father, Dave Brubeck. Add to this heritage the fact that Chris and Dan's musical tastes were forged in the stylistically innovative 1960’s, and you have an exciting combination of musical elements to draw upon! With Dan at the drums and Chris on electric bass and bass trombone, an exciting evening goes over the top with the addition of guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb. Don’t miss this dynamic and compelling 2013 Summer Concert Series event, with a loving tribute to Dave Brubeck! “Elements of rock, classical, blues, funk, reggae and world music informed the quartet’s approach to contemporary jazz, adding considerable color and texture to the arrangements.” The Washington Post “If there is such a thing as ‘born musicians’ then surely the sons of famed jazz pianist Dave Brubeck qualify.” The Courier-Journal Thursday, August 8, 8:00 PM, CGC-UCC ALAN BAYLOCK JAZZ ORCHESTRA Featuring some of the finest jazz veterans of the Woody Herman Orchestra, the Count Basie Orchestra, Maynard Ferguson’s Big Bop Nouveau, the Airmen of Note and many others, the Alan Baylock Jazz Orchestra is dedicated to the advancement of big band jazz. Led by composer/arranger Alan Baylock, the band has a cohesive, distinctive sound that is both entertaining and inspiring, and has been lauded by fans and fellow musicians alike.

John brings to his work the cool jazz flavor of his brilliant guitar playing and singing.
