Darius Brubeck (born David Darius Brubeck; June 14, 1947) is an American jazz pianist, author, and educator. He is the son of jazz legend Dave Brubeck with whom he worked professionally in the 1970s, while also performing in his own bands, The Darius Brubeck Ensemble and Gathering Forces. [1]

Contents

In 1983, Brubeck joined the staff of the University of Natal (now University of KwaZulu-Natal) in Durban, South Africa, as a Lecturer in Music with a mission to introduce Jazz Studies. [2] Darius and his wife, Catherine, co-authored a memoir of their time in South Africa between 1983 and 2006 titled Playing the Changes: Jazz at an African University and on the Road, published by University of KwaZulu-Natal Press (2023). The international edition is published by the University of Illinois Press (2024). [3] The couple currently resides in Rye, East Sussex in the south of England. [4]

Currently, Darius leads The Darius Brubeck Quartet — Dave O’Higgins, sax, Matt Ridley, bass, Wesley Gibbens, drums — based in London [5] and Brubecks Play Brubeck, featuring his brothers Chris (bass and trombone) and Dan Brubeck (drums). [6]

A documentary film by Michiel ten Kleij (Red Cloak Films) entitled Playing the Changes: Tracking Darius Brubeck was completed in 2023. [7]

Early life and education

Brubeck was born on June 14, 1947, in San Francisco, California. to father Dave and mother Iola (née Whitlock) Brubeck. Darius was named after his father's teacher and mentor, French composer Darius Milhaud. [8]

The family moved from Oakland, California, to Wilton, Connecticut, in 1960, and Darius graduated from Wilton High School in 1965. Darius had five siblings — Michael (d. 2009), Christopher, Catherine, Daniel, and Matthew — three of whom grew up to be professional musicians. [9]

Darius majored in ethnomusicology and the history of religion at Wesleyan University, graduating cum laude in 1969. [10] Brubeck was awarded an MPhil from the University of Nottingham in 2003. [11]

Career

Early music career (1970s – early 1980s)

While an undergraduate at Wesleyan, Brubeck worked on Christopher's Movie Matinee, a film for the National Film Board of Canada; he is credited for composing music and performing on the screen. [12] As a multi-keyboardist and pianist in the 1970s and early 1980s, Brubeck led The Darius Brubeck Ensemble and Gathering Forces and performed his original music. During that time, he also crossed America as a sideman with Don McLean and recorded two albums with guitar legend Larry Coryell. He toured the world and recorded as a member of Two Generations of Brubeck and The New Brubeck Quartet, both led by his father Dave. [13]

Academic career (1983 – present)

In 1983, Brubeck and his South African wife, Catherine, moved to Durban, South Africa. to join the music Department at the University of Natal (later renamed University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2004). There, he initiated the first degree course in Jazz Studies offered by an African university. In 1989, he was appointed as Professor of Jazz Studies and Director of the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music, where he taught until 2005. [14] From 1999 to 2000, Brubeck was a Visiting Fellow at the University of Nottingham, where he earned an M.Phil degree and wrote a chapter ("1959: The Beginning of Beyond") in The Cambridge Companion to Jazz (2003). [15] [16]

After moving to London in 2005, Brubeck taught courses at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Brunel University. [17] Appointed as a Fulbright Senior Specialist in Jazz Studies in 2007, he taught at Yıldız Technical University in Istanbul and subsequently at the Gheorghe Dima Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in 2010. [18]

Brubeck has received six Outstanding Service to Jazz Education awards from the International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE) in 1988, 1992, 1994, 1998, 2005, and 2006, respectively. [19] He regularly contributes papers to conferences related to jazz studies and retains an academic affiliation of Honorary Professor with the University of KwaZulu-Natal. [20]

Jazz in South Africa (1980s – early 2000s)

University bands in South Africa

Brubeck formed a total of five student/staff bands that officially represented the University of Natal (KwaZulu-Natal) and South Africa at International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE) and other international conferences and festivals. [21] The first, The Jazzanians, was formed in 1988 and was the first multi-racial student jazz band from a South African university. [22] The publicity resulting from their appearance at the National Association of Jazz Educators (direct precursor of IAJE) Conference in Detroit and on American TV helped further Jazz Education in South Africa. [23]

The album The Jazzanians: We Have Waited Too Long (2024) was recorded in Durban in 1988. The album was re-mastered in 2024 and will be released by Ubuntu Music. [24] The NU Jazz Connection (1992) which performed at the IAJE Conference in Miami also made an album, African Tributes for B&W Music. [25]

Afro Cool Concept

In 1989, Darius Brubeck formed the Afro Cool Concept, who toured throughout southern Africa and internationally for nearly 15 years. In 1990, they recorded Afro-Cool Concept: Live in New Orleans, featuring Barney Rachabane on alto sax, Victor Ntoni on bass, and Lulu Gontsana on drums. Ntoni later moved to Johannesburg and bassist Bongani Sokhela joined the group. [26] Brubeck, Ntoni and Gontsana backed many of South Africa's greatest musicians — such as tenor sax stars Winston Mankunku Ngozi, Ezra Ngcukana, and Duke Makasi and guitarists Allen Kwela, Johnny Fourie and Sandile Shange — in Durban and at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. [27] [28] [29] In 2004, Afro Cool Concept presented concerts in England, Denmark, and the United States on an official tour marking ten years since the end of Apartheid rule.

In 1993, B&W Music released Gathering Forces 2, an album featuring Brubeck and bansuri player Deepak Ram at the Durban International Festival of Music. [30] The independent South African record label Sheer Sound released Afro-Cool Concept's Still On My Mind in 2003, [31] and Darius Brubeck albums, Before It’s Too Late (2004) and Tugela Rail and Other Tracks (2007). [32] [33]

Other jazz bands in South Africa

During the 1990s and early 2000s, Brubeck led a variety of ad hoc bands based in Durban, with saxophonists including Mike Rossi, Chris Merz, and Zim Ngqawana.

Brubeck formed the NU Jazz Connection in 1992, which consisted of Brubeck himself on keyboard; Mark Kilian on electric keyboards; Chris Merz on saxophone; and five students: Fezile Faku on trumpet, Lex Futshane on acoustic and electric bass, S’Thembiso Ntuli on tenor sax, Sazi Dlamini on guitar, and Lulu Gontsana on drums. [34] NU Jazz Connection toured to Peru in 1999, performing in Cuzco and Lima. [35]

In 2003, Brubeck also directed the South African National Youth Jazz Band at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands. [36] In 2005, he led a band of students from the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the University of KwaZulu-Natal at the IAJE Conference in Long Beach, California. He often returns to South Africa and performs with local musicians, most recently in 2023, when the NU Jazz Connection was reconvened for the launch of the Brubecks’ book at the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music on the UKZN Durban campus. [37]

The Darius Brubeck Quartet regularly appears at jazz festivals and concert venues in the UK, Europe, and the Middle East and are regulars at top London jazz venues including as Ronnie Scott's, Pizza Express Jazz Club, and The Jazz Cafe. [39] [40] [41]

"Brubecks Play Brubeck", a group featuring three Brubeck brothers — Darius, Chris, and Dan — and British saxophonist Dave O'Higgins, has been touring annually on both sides of the Atlantic since 2010. [42]

In February 2023, Darius and his brothers participated in a historic performance of The Gates of Justice, a cantata composed by jazz legend Dave and, his wife, Iola Brubeck. The performance was part of a week-long conference, "Music and Justice", organized by the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. The series focused on issues of race and social justice in the modern world, featuring concerts and dialogues with artists and academics. [43]

Composer

Brubeck has written music for all types of ensemble, large and small. Two of his compositions, For Lydia (2013–14) and Tugela Rail (2019–20), have been included in the Royal School's international piano syllabus. [44]

In addition to writing for his own bands, Darius Brubeck's arrangements and an original composition for his father's 80th birthday can be heard on Dave Brubeck – Live with the LSO (2000). [45]

In 2004, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra commissioned a piece by Darius and Zim Ngqawana for "Let Freedom Swing", a setting of music to extracts from speeches by Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. These were read by Morgan Freeman at the world premiere in New York, NY. [46]

In 2005, the Rockefeller Foundation awarded Darius a residency as a composer at the Bellagio Study and Conference Center in Italy. [47]

He is co-author with Michael Rossi of Odd Times: Uncommon Etudes in for Uncommon Time Signatures, published by Advance Music in 2014. [48]

Gathering Forces

"Gathering Forces" was the name of Darius Brubeck's fusion band in the 1970s and early 1980s. He has since adopted the name for a label of self-published material. [49]

Gathering Forces has released numerous albums including For Lydia and the Lion and Earthrise (2008), Two and Four (2010), Brubecks Play Brubeck (2011), Cathy's Summer (2014), Years Ago (2016), and The Darius Brubeck Quartet: Live in Poland (2019).
