Take Five: The Dave Brubeck Story has played Adelaide Fringe and Cabaret Festivals as well as Sydney’s The Basement.
Brendan Fitzgerald Quartet double bass player Quinton Dunne said the foursome would perform a “faithful tribute” to Brubeck, whose death in 2012 inspired the show.
“We're going to perform some of the tunes that made him really famous in the 1950s,” Dunne said.
“He had a whole lot of bands but the quartet in the 50s is really the one that set the world on fire.”
Take Five is narrated by Brendan Fitzgerald at the piano. The quartet perform from Brubeck’s own transcriptions.
Take Five: The Dave Brubeck Story is at Her Majesty’s Theatre on Thursday, April 27 at 2pm. Tickets are $25, $20 for concession and $20 for members. To book call 5333 5888 or visit www.hermaj.com.
