Dave Brubeck on Blue Lake, and a history of Fountain St. Church

[Lazaro Vega]

With Dave Brubeck coming up tonight on Jazz From Blue Lake, it's a good time to look back on the pianist/composer/bandleader's historic performances in Grand Rapids. There were others, including a broadcast on Buck Matthews WOOD television program with Chris Brubeck and Danny Brubeck, as well as a Grand Rapids Symphony pops concert later in his career, but the appearances at Fountain Street Church changed the music's image in the city. Here is an overview of Carolyn Heines participation in producing those concerts :http://www.westmichmusichystericalsociety.com/fsc/
