It is a memoir, replete with anecdotes and adventures, in part a double biography and a one-off story. From their invented base, the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music at the University of Natal, Cathy and Darius Brubeck managed and organised numerous bands, concerts and tours around the world. In retrospect, they were ahead of the â°Ìâtransformationâ°Ìâ curve, with their many improvised solutions to social, legal and administrative challenges. The book includes sad and comic incidents as well as insightful portraits of the people who made music throughout this politically turbulent time. The jazz life itself was often chaotic but nevertheless a resilient response to the bitterness of an unjust society. With the patronage of international jazz stars, in particular Dariusâ°Ìâs famous father, Dave Brubeck, jazz on campus spoke to the times. Playing the Changes is richly detailed with insider knowledge, information Cathy and Darius provide from their own papers and lived experiences." --Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 303-305) and index. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Jazz $z South Africa $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Portrait photography $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Jazz musicians $v Biography. 650 7 $a Jazz. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982165 650 7 $a Jazz musicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982205 650 7 $a Portrait photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01072259 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Brubeck Catherine, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033351.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F71F76E03D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
