Friends of Brubeck will perform a special tribute to Dave Brubeck’s classic works later this month.

Dave Brubeck is a household name in much of the world. When he died in 2012, saxophonist Craig Buhler suggested to pianist Linda Dowdell that they perform some of Brubeck’s memorable songs at a local gig. Since that time, the duo has become a quartet, focusing not only on Brubeck’s classics such as “Take Five,” “Blue Rondo à la Turk” and “Three to Get Ready” but other songs as well, arranged in styles that blend classical and jazz music with a somewhat Brubeck-ish result.

The quartet will perform at 7 p.m. Friday, March 27, in Peninsula College’s Maier Performance Hall. Bassist Ted Enderle and “Groove King” Terry Smith on drums round out the quartet, supplying a solid rock for the band.

Tickets for the performance are $15 in advance (until 11 p.m. March 26) at Brown Paper Tickets by searching “Friends of Brubeck” or at www.pencol.edu/foundation. For same-day ticket sales, call 417-6264. Tickets will be available at the door on a space-available basis.
