Grammy-nominated Chris Brubeck, one of five sons and one daughter of jazz legend Dave Brubeck and his wife Iola, is a longtime highly respected musician who continues to distinguish himself as an innovative performer and award-winning composer and arranger, clearly tuned into the pulse of contemporary music. John von Rhein, music critic for The Chicago Tribune, calls Chris “a composer with a real flair for lyrical melody – a 21st Century Lenny Bernstein.” Many of his "classical" compositions still contain strong hints of the jazz influence of his seminal father, he has created an impressive body of symphonic work while maintaining a demanding touring and recording schedule with the Brubeck Brothers Quartet (with brother Dan on drums) whose recordings have all landed in the Top 10 on Jazz Radio Charts. His standing-ovation-worthy compositions have been commissioned by the Boston Symphony, New York Pops, Kennedy Center, Baltimore Symphony, and many others.
