Research

Description: Dave Brubeck's early collective Octet was inspired by the teachings of Modernist Darius Milhaud. This analysis of the Octet's body of work will address how Brubeck, and the other composers in the collective, applied Modernist compositional techniques to arrangements of jazz standards in unique and exciting ways.
