O’s Notes: Our last review of the Brubeck Brothers Quartet was six years ago. The lineup was the same: pianist/composer Chuck Lamb and guitarist Mike DeMicco with Chris Brubeck (b, tb) and drummer Dan Brubeck.“Timeline“is a celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Dave Brubeck’s historic State Department Tour. It included 80 concerts, over 3 months in 14 countries across Europe and Asia! Along the way Dave did more than spread American jazz. He was influenced by“world“music along the way and incorporated it into his fabric upon returning back home. “Blue Rondo a la Turk” and “Thank You (Dziekuje)” are prime examples. The new Quartet adds their touch to several tunes along with four originals sustaining the old and expanding the legacy in grand fashion.
