For many people, the sound of Dave Brubeck’s ‘Take 5’ is the sound of jazz. This popular American pianist and composer, who died just a few years ago, did more than perhaps anyone to bring jazz into the popular mainstream. Now Devon based musician Neil Maya has put together a group of some of the finest musicians in the South West to authentically reproduce the best known Dave Brubeck recordings such as ‘It’s a Raggy Waltz’, ‘Blue Rondo a la Turk’, ‘Unsquare Dance’ and of course ‘Take 5’.

The band has performed numerous performances of the Brubeck Project including Jazz Festivals, jazz clubs, arts centres and many rural touring schemes throughout the south west and beyond. The quartet released a wonderful live CD/DVD of the project back in 2017. Expect a delightful evening of wonderful jazz from one of the world’s most popular jazz super groups performed by four excellent South West based musicians.
