Brubeck understood early in his career that he had to create a different kind of jazz in order to stand out from the inventors of this music. By among other things using hisEuropean beats and quirky compositions based thereon, he developed his own jazzconcept.

Except because of their own sound was the Dave Brubeck Quartet also breaks new ground by its multiracial composition. This made it not a lot of clubs in the United States in Brubeck allowed to play tvchannels and asked where he would act to the black bass player Eugene Wright out of the picture, something Brubeck always refused.

He died one day before his 92nd birthday. ==Discography[Edit] == ==Charts[Edit] == ===Singles[Edit] === ===Radio 2 Top 2000[Edit] ===
