Back to All Events
The University of Pacific Library welcomes author and Professor Emeritus Keith Hatschek back to campus for a conversation about his research into Dave and Iola Brubeck’s ground-breaking jazz musical, The Real Ambassadors. His new book telling the story of the Brubecks’ five-year struggle to bring the musical to the stage demonstrates how artists can use their voices to stand up to inequality and take a stand for human rights. Bay Area artist, Gina Musser, will also exhibit an original wire-frame artwork of Iola Brubeck as she performed as narrator in the show’s triumphant 1962 premiere at the Monterey Jazz Festival.
