As a musician, he mainly plays electric bass, bass trombone, and piano. The son of noted jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck, in 1972 he joined his father and brothers Darius and Daniel in ''The New Brubeck Quartet''. He later formed ''The Brubeck Brothers Quartet'' with his brothers. ==Overview== Chris Brubeck has been touring for about 30 years with guitarist Joel Brown and singer and harmonica virtuoso Peter Madcat Ruth, as (http://www.chrisbrubeckstripleplay.com) Chris Brubeck's Triple Play, which is a jazz band in a swinging Louisiana style. Known as a member of New Heavenly Blue, Chris also participated and recorded as a keyboardist/trombonist/guitarist in "Educated Homegrown" in 1970. In 1999, Chris Brubeck and his brother Daniel Brubeck joined with other musicians to form ''The Brubeck Brothers Quartet'' (which had briefly pre-existed with Andy LaVerne for a 1972 album as "The Brubeck-LaVerne Trio"). While they have performed with various other musicians, the quartet includes Mike DeMicco on guitar, Chuck Lamb on piano, Daniel Brubeck on drums, and Chris Brubeck on electric bass and bass trombone. The quartet performs in jazz venues and with symphony orchestras around the world. In 2003, Chris played his first "Concerto for Bass Trombone and Orchestra" with the Czech national Symphony Orchestra in Prague. A year later, he composed his own concerto titled, ''The Prague Concerto for Bass Trombone and Orchestra''. Many of his "classical" compositions still contain strong hints of the jazz influence of his father. When Chris Brubeck was born, Dave Brubeck wrote for him the composition "Crazy Chris". In 1982, after Chris and his first wife Noreen had their son Ben,〔"'' Christopher, my son, and his wife, Noreen, have given me my first grandchild...
