Playing the Changes: Jazz at an African University and on the Road by Darius Brubeck and Catherine Brubeck (review)

In 1983 the American jazz pianist Darius Brubeck took an unexpected turn in his career, moving to Durban where he and his wife Cathy established the first university jazz degree programme in South Africa, along with other initiatives such as the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music. During their 23-year stay the Brubecks defied apartheid and promoted equality of opportunity through jazz education and performance. This is a review of the book they co-authored about their time in South Africa and the legacy of their work.
