Jazz Legend
DAVE BRUBECK plays the park
San Antonio, Texas – The 25th Anniversary of Jazz'SAlive in Travis parks, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, September 20 and 21, will showcase the legendary Dave Brubeck. Jazz'SAlive is a free two-day festival featuring national, regional and local musicians.
Headliner Dave Brubeck is regarded as a genius in his field and has written a number of jazz standards as well as two ballets, a musical, four cantatas, and a mass. The 1959 Dave Brubeck Quartet album Time Out became the first modern jazz album to “go gold”, and Brubeck was one of the first musicians to have a star placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Over his long and successful career he has recorded with legendary jazz figures Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Rushing and Carmen McRae. Today, his music continues to excite new generations of musicians and listeners with his diverse style and incredible talent.
Jazz’SAlive is co-sponsored by the San Antonio Parks Foundation and the City of San Antonio. Admission is free. The St. Anthony Hotel will offer a special Jazz'SAlive 25th Anniversary Package which includes upgraded parkview accommodations, breakfast for two, a bottle of wine or champagne and a deluxe whole fruit and cheese platter. Call 1-800-Wyndham for reservations.
