Number 1: Jazz, Apartheid and the Brubeck Legacy in PLAYING THE CHANGES: TRACKING DARIUS BRUBECK
This episode sees Mark in conversation with jazz musician Darius Brubeck and documentary filmmaker Michiel ten Kleij to discuss their documentary Playing the Changes: Tracking Darius Brubeck, which traces how jazz became a quiet force for political change in apartheid-era South Africa. Ten Kleij explains how a planned film about the 1958 Brubeck Quartet tour behind the Iron Curtain evolved, once a rival BBC documentary was announced, into a broader, independently-financed story spanning Poland and Durban. Darius Brubeck reflects candidly on growing up in his father's shadow, the 'dynastic' continuity jazz offered black South African audiences under apartheid, and the guidance of his wife Catherine in shaping how he used his own talents for purpose rather than pure virtuosity. This episode was recorded at the Provence Arts Festival du Film, an annual festival founded by Lucy Darwin, dedicated to documentary cinema and the arts held in the hilltop village of Ménerbes, which this year focused on music documentaries. This episode was produced by Hedda Lornie Archbold and recorded and edited by Richard Gay. With thanks to Lucy Darwin and the Provence Arts Festival du Film, and to Darius Brubeck and Michiel ten Kleij.
