IT'S GETTING JAZZY AT THE RIALTO >>>

Honestly, if I were a child of jazz piano legend Dave Brubeck I'd be trust-funding it up on a Caribbean island somewhere contemplating the very real possibility my hands would never know a blister or callous. But that's just me. I'm a little worthless.

Daniel and Chris Brubeck, on the other hand, obviously the lucky recipients of their father's musical genes, took the more obvious and respectable route, pursuing music and using their family's famous name to help along the way. Daniel, a renowned drummer, and Chris, no slouch with the bass and trombone, are part of the Brubeck Brothers Quarter, hitting the Rialto Theater in Tacoma Friday.  Joined by guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb, the Brubeck Brothers Quartet is known for a style "rooted in straight ahead jazz," according to the band's promotional hype, but also, "an inherent ability to explore and play odd time signatures while naturally integrating the influences of funk, blues and world music."

Wonder where the love of odd time signatures comes from?
