Bob Faw of PBS's Religion and Ethics Newsweekly traveled to Washington, D.C., for an enlightening interview with jazz icon Dave Brubeck. Known for his widely inventive, often revolutionary time signatures, what is less known by even jazz listeners is that Brubeck has also composed religious scores for much of his career.
For Dave Brubeck, jazz not only embraces and encompasses but also enhances and augments religion. Raised Presbyterian by a Christian Scientist mother, the 88-year-old Brubeck always strives to convey the same message in his music: love your enemies.
