the jazz giant who inspired Clint
“My own Brubeck Institute in California is turning out fantastic young jazz players, and I know great things will happen.”
Not even Clint Eastwood’s new film, Dave Brubeck – In His Own Sweet Way, can fully encompass Brubeck’s life and work despite being 90 minutes long and crammed with music, anecdotes and superb archive material. It’s still a great place to start. It traces Brubeck’s life from his upbringing on a northern Californian cattle ranch, via combat duty in the US Army in World War Two, to musical studies with the French composer Darius Milhaud, and thence to one of the mightiest careers in American music.
As Eastwood explains: “My early love of jazz coincided with Dave Brubeck appearing on the scene in the late 1940s and Fifties. This gave me the opportunity to see Dave in person. And, as jazz was developing as a great American art form, this provided an inspiration for artistic achievement as I began pursuing an acting career.” The film, he hopes, will “capture Dave, his life and music for the ages”.
