WELCOME! Today, we are all together again for the first time.

Patrick Langham made it so: bringing together many of the past Brubeck Fellows, the all-stars who helped Pacific honor the Brubecks’ legacy as musicians, mentors and diplomats.

This fall, our jazz enrollments are again at all-time highs, eclipsing last year’s numbers, as are overall conservatory enrollments. The number of students in the conservatory has grown 31% over the past two years, and we feel like we are just getting started.

Last academic year, the Conservatory celebrated historic performances at Jazz at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Our Jazz Ambassadors also played at Monterey Jazz Festival and collaborated with fellow Conservatory students on a blazing performance of Leonard Bernstein’s Prelude, Fugue, and Riffs, a work that exemplifies so many of the boundary-breaking connections that the Brubecks and Bernstein shared as icons of the era.

Through our time together during the 2019 Brubeck Festival, we hope to share through music Iola, Dave, and Lenny’s sense of joy, warmth and accomplishment – all together again for the first time.

CELEBRATION —that’s what the Brubeck Festival has always been, and it’s truer this year than ever.

The Festival has always been a celebration of Dave Brubeck’s music, of the impact Dave and Iola had on diplomacy and social justice, and of the power and beauty of jazz. We have celebrated with worldclass artists and scholars here in Stockton and in New York City. This year at the Festival, we see the fruits of 20 years of the Brubeck Institute: a series of performances by former Brubeck Fellows.

I have been so lucky, both as a teacher and as a musician, to work with the young men and women in the Brubeck Institute through the years. They have challenged me and helped me to grow and learn, and it is a real treat to see so many of them return for this year’s Festival.

Enjoy the music, and as always, enjoy the celebration.

Patrick Langham Professor and Program Director for Jazz Studies Interim Executive Director, The Brubeck Institute

Again, welcome.

LUCAS PINO and No Net Nonet

(Brubeck Fellow 2005–2007) New York City-based tenor saxophonist Lucas Pino has led the inventive No Net Nonet since March 2013. Concurrently, he has maintained a monthly residency at Smalls Jazz Club in NYC. During that time, he has also performed as a sideman for artists including Lea DeLaria, Gideon van Gelder, Takuya Kuroda, Richard Boukas, David Lopato, Lauren Desberg, Rafal Sarnecki, Nick Finzer, Jeremy Siskind, Dave Baron, Alex Wintz, Jorn Swart, Marike van Dijk, and Florian Hoefner.

He also plays frequently with Bryan Carter & The Young Swangers and Steven Feifkes Big Band.

Originally from Phoenix, AZ, Pino grew up singing hymns in church and in the choir at school. The first music he ever listened to was jazz, and he started playing saxophone at age 10. As a high school junior, he won the DownBeat Student Music Award for Best Instrumental Soloist in 2004, and went on to attend the Brubeck Institute.

He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Jazz Performance at The New School, NY, in 2009. He received a Masters of Music from Juilliard in 2011.

Pino has since traveled the world, performing in Japan, Australia, Poland, Spain, Britain, the Netherlands, Brazil and Costa Rica, as well as throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Brubeck Festival 2019

JOEL ROSS “Good Vibes”

(Brubeck Fellow 2013–2015) Joel Ross is considered to be the most thrilling new vibraphonist in the U.S. The Chicagoborn, Brooklyn-based player and composer has performed on deeply innovative albums (Makaya McCraven’s Universal Beings, Walter Smith III and Matthew Stevens’ In Common), in reliably revolutionary combos (Marquis Hill’s Blacktet, Peter Evans’ Being and Becoming), and on the buzzing debut of Blue Note’s 2018 breakout star James Francies, Flight. He also leads a quartet and a large ensemble dedicated to the works of and in the style of Ornette Coleman and Keith Jarrett’s American Quartet. In 2019, Ross joined the roster of the Blue Note Records.

Joel and his twin brother joined the school band at the age of 10. When they later auditioned for the multi-school All City concert and jazz bands, Joel realized that playing

vibraphone was the most natural way to express himself.

He practiced and played constantly through numerous opportunities from the Jazz Institute of Chicago to Chicago High School for the Arts. Through ChiArts’ partnership with the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, Ross got the opportunity to jam with Herbie Hancock and learn from special guests like Gerald Clayton.

Stefon Harris was Joel’s first dedicated vibraphone teacher.

Harris invited him to try out for the Brubeck Institute Jazz Quintet, where Joel spent two years. “Stefon completely revamped my technique,” says Ross. “We were also learning his [now-famous] ear-training method, applying emotions to chords and hearing harmony in new ways.

I figured out how I wanted to sound.” After transferring to The New School, Ross formed his band Good Vibes, featuring his favorite players he met at camps, contests and gigs along the way.

THE BRUBECK INSTITUTE The Brubeck Institute was established at University of the Pacific from 2000 to 2019 to honor Pacific’s distinguished alumni, Dave ’42 and Iola ’45 Brubeck.

The mission of the institute is to build on Dave Brubeck’s legacy and his lifelong dedication to music, creativity, education and the advancement of important social issues including civil rights, international relations, environmental concerns and social justice. The institute’s five core programs have included the Brubeck Collection, Brubeck Festival, Brubeck Fellowship Program, Summer Jazz Colony and the Outreach Program.
