Darius and Dan Brubeck appeared together in Ronnie ScottÕs 50th Anniversary series playing a Brubeck programme and in December 2009, Darius performed with all three of his brothers - Chris, Dan and Matthew, at the Kennedy Center Gala when his father received a medal for his contribution to American culture. President and Mrs Obama were in the audience.

Darius will be accompanied by his regular musicians, including young British saxophonist Paul Greenwood, bass player Matt Ridley who since graduating from Trinity College of Music in 2005 has established himself as a much in demand talent on the UK Jazz scene, and South African London-based freelance drummer Wesley Gibbens.

Expect an evening of Brubeck classics, one or two rollicking numbers reflecting South African influences, a standard or two and some original compositions.

The Darius Brubeck Quartet will be at the Civic Centre, Berkhamsted on Sunday, February 27, 7.30pm.
