Dave Brubeck's Time Out: A Conversation Between Author/Music Historian Stephen Crist and Musicologist Gil Harel (Zoom)

6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Event Details

To continue the celebration of the recent ribbon-cutting for The Brubeck Collection at Wilton Library, please join us online for an engaging conversation between author and music historian Stephen Crist and musicologist Gil Harel. They will discuss Dave Brubeck's iconic album "Time Out" as well as Brubeck's music and life. Professor Crist of Emory University literally "wrote the book" on this album and he sat down for a discussion with Gil Harel from Naugatuck Valley Community College. You may recall Gil's excellent "Bach to Brubeck" presentations with Chris Brubeck from June 2020.

Their discussion was recorded in October in the library's new archive room in conjunction with the ribbon-cutting for The Brubeck Collection at Wilton Library. We will be broadcasting a recording of the ribbon-cutting ceremony as an introduction to the program starting at 6:30pm with the Crist/Harel program beginning around 7pm.

Stephen A. Crist is Chair of the Music Department at Emory University where he is also Professor of Music History.
