The Brubeck Institute Jazz Quintet represents the next generation of jazz musicians who are pushing the music forward in new directions. Jazz, a true American art form, has evolved from the fusion of African music and European classical music in the late part of the 19th Century. It is unique in its use of complex rhythms and harmony. Also unique to jazz is that it is an improvised art form, no one performance is ever the same.
