On May 25, just in time for the 60th anniversary of D-Day, Telarc will release Private Brubeck Remembers, a new solo album from one of the most influential jazz pianists of the 20th century. Private Brubeck Remembers features renditions of some of the most famous songs from World War II, many of which Dave Brubeck played during his tour of duty with the Wolf Pack Band. “The titles of the tunes are almost an autobiography of my war years," says Brubeck.
Private Brubeck Remembers also includes WWII-era photos from the Brubeck archives in California and a limited edition CD featuring an interview between Brubeck and former CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite. The interview includes Brubeck's memories of his war years -- as a musician and a GI.
I've already sent you a CD/press kit for Private Brubeck Remembers. As the world celebrates the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Europe (D-Day was June 6, 1944), I hope you'll consider this unique release for coverage.
