“How often do you come away from a jazz concert wishing it could have been bottled and later poured out to relive the magic again?” Stuart Nicholson, Jazzwise
Union Chapel hosts a landmark evening with pianist and composer Darius Brubeck, celebrating both the 20th anniversary of the Darius Brubeck Quartet and the enduring musical legacy of his father, jazz legend Dave Brubeck.
A pillar of British jazz for two decades, the Darius Brubeck Quartet – Brubeck (piano), Dave O’Higgins (saxes), Matt Ridley (bass) and Wesley Gibbens (drums) – has cultivated a rare musical understanding through years of shared experience on stage and in the studio.
This special concert presents two contrasting sets that reflect both tradition and evolution – the first showcasing Brubeck’s own original works and new compositions, the second devoted to his father’s timeless classics, including interpretations of ‘Take Five’ and ‘Blue Rondo à la Turk’.
With its distinctive acoustics and evocative atmosphere, Union Chapel provides the perfect setting for this reflective and celebratory evening, honouring a family legacy that helped shape modern jazz, while affirming Brubeck’s own compelling musical voice.
Union Chapel, 19b Compton Terrace, London N1 2UN – doors 7pm
