Chris Brubeck first hit the music scene as an innovative rock and jazz musician, eventually recording and performing with his Dad, the legendary Dave Brubeck. He plays bass, trombone, piano, guitar, sings and has earned international attention as composer, performer and leader of his groups, The Brubeck Brothers Quartet and Triple Play. Onstage, Chris' irrepressible enthusiasm is matched by his command of jazz, blues, funk, pop and classical musical styles. An award-winning composer, Chris' natural talents have made him the go-to composer for genre-bending modern classical music. His compositions for artists such as Time for Three, Regina Carter, & Eileen Ivers have been performed in major concert halls all over the planet. The Chicago Tribune calls Chris, "A composer with a real flair for lyrical melody – a 21st Century Lenny Bernstein."
