SUMMARY:How NYC Became the Art Capital of the World
DESCRIPTION:After World War II\, the center of the art world shifted from Paris to New York. It is here that new modern art styles and movements were born\, such as Abstract Expressionism\, Minimalism\, Conceptualism\, Color Field\, and Pop Art. Many artists from Europe migrated to New York\, seeking new opportunities. In addition\, American artists such as Jackson Pollock\, Sol LeWitt\, Mark Rothko\, Alex Katz\, and Roy Lichtenstein emerged onto the art scene and were central to these movements. Hear consultant Scott Verchin discuss how New York’s museums are collectively evolving into becoming the world’s leading cultural institutions for fine art. \nAdvance registration is appreciated.

SUMMARY:MoCACT Presents: Brubeck Brothers Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Brothers Chris and Dan Brubeck—who first recorded together in 1966—lead this dynamic ensemble through straight-ahead jazz inflected with funk\, blues\, and global rhythms. Their chart-topping album LifeTimes showcases the Quartet’s masterful improvisations and adventurous exploration of odd time signatures\, drawing on a legacy that includes performances at major festivals worldwide and collaborations with orchestras from Philadelphia to Singapore. With guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb rounding out the group\, the BBQ honors the spontaneous spirit of jazz while forging its own distinctive path. \nChoose from two ticket options that offer full access to our exhibition Art\, Jazz + the Blues\, as the galleries transform into a speakeasy-inspired jazz lounge—an immersive extension of the exhibition\, generously sponsored by Conlon Amendola\, Attorneys at Law. \nVIP EXPERIENCE – $150 \n• Special-edition t-shirt designed by Westport artist Miggs Burroughs\n• Preferred seating\n• Personal bar service with wine\, beer\, and sparkling water\n• Signature cocktails\n• Curated light bites by A·S Westport\nGENERAL ADMISSION – $50 \n• Standard seating\n• Wine\, beer\, and sparkling water\n• Signature cocktails\n• Curated light bites by A·S Westport\nAbout the Brubeck Brothers Quartet: \nChris and Dan Brubeck have been making music together practically all their lives. Drummer Dan and bassist\, trombonist\, and composer Chris cut their first record together in 1966—nearly a half century ago. They’ve subsequently played a variety of styles in a number of different groups\, as well as with their father\, jazz giant Dave Brubeck\, and with their own Brubeck Brothers Quartet. With Dan and Chris as the foundation\, guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb\, complete this dynamic quartet. They perform at concert series\, colleges\, and jazz festivals across North America and Europe\, including the Newport\, Detroit\, Montreal\, Playboy/Hollywood Bowl\, and Monterey Jazz Festivals. The Quartet’s last cd\, LifeTimes\,< was a hit on the JazzWeek radio chart where it made the Top Ten list as one of the most played jazz recordings of the year. \n“The playing that takes place on LifeTimes – the wondrous combination of swing\, melodic majesty\, masterful arrangements and a truckload of truly inspirational solos – just adds a vibrancy and color to songs I thought I knew and loved on a deep level. It turns out that there was still plenty of depth I could have discovered. I just needed someone to point the way and that is exactly what these four gentlemen have done through LifeTimes.” – Seattle Times \nThese versatile musicians also collaborate with or­chestras all across the U.S. as well as internationally\, including performing with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra and the Russian National Orchestra. With Chris Brubeck’s compositions as a vehicle\, the BBQ has joined with chamber groups to collaborate with musicians from the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra\, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Russian National Symphony Orchestra. \nAlthough the Quartet’s style is rooted in “straight-ahead” jazz\, their concerts reveal an inherent ability to explore and play odd time signatures while naturally integrating the influences of funk\, blues and world music. The group’s creativity\, technique and improvisation can be heard in their uncompromising music\, which reflects their dedication to melody\, rhythm\, culture and the spontaneous spirit of jazz.
