THE GENIUS OF JAZZ! It's nearing dusk at the Newport Jazz Festival and, to almost fanatical applause, out steps a piano jazz quartet. But it's not just any pianist, nor just any quartet. It's the DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET. One of the greatest innovators and most talented musicians in history, Brubeck shows every bit of the brilliance that has made his records sell like no other in jazz, not only in America but all around the globe. The setting sun behind the big outdoor stage fills the sky with a warm spectrum of colors as Brubeck and his quartet do the same. Showing off their versatility they do more than justice to old, new, and classic numbers, like "Take Five," "Tritonos," "Big Bad Basie" "The St. Louis Blues" and much, much more.
