The Brubeck Brothers Quartet is an exciting jazz group featuring two members of one of America’s most accomplished musical families, Dan Brubeck (drums) and Chris Brubeck (bass & trombone.) Guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb complete this dynamic quartet. Primarily known for their straight-ahead style, the band also explores odd time signatures while integrating influences of blues, funk and world music. They have performed at concert series, colleges, and jazz festivals across North America and Europe and will be bringing their inventive style to the Newport Jazz Festival on Sunday, August 7th.

"Once again the BBQ attains that rarefied level where music is both relaxed and expressive, and their joy in its creation is contagious. There's really nothing out there that comes close to their unique brand of inventiveness." - All About Jazz

"All four excel as soloists, and while they frequently throw sparks, they never lose sight of melody or descend into mere pyrotechnics."- Goodsound.com

"The first thing you would notice is the stelar rhythm section -- clean, crisp swing with great interaction between the players, and a very smart use of space. Sometimes guitar and piano clash in a small combo, but not with DeMicco and Lamb, who show how these two instruments are supposed to work together. And the same can be said for the Brubeck brothers. Dan Brubeck's drumming is a revelation ... Some serious fraternal camaraderie is going down here." - Ted Gioia, Jazz.com # # #
