Jazz, Apartheid and the Brubeck Legacy in PLAYING THE CHANGES: TRACKING DARIUS BRUBECK

Season 2 · Episode 296

Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • Duration 20:16

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 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.

Great Soundtrack, Shame About the Film

Season 2 · Episode 293

Tuesday, August 11, 2026 • Duration 33:07

Recorded in the mosquito-infested fields of Latitude Festival, Mark and Jack dig into film music to mark the paperback release of Mark's book Surround Sound: The Stories of Movie Music, co-written with Jenny Nelson.

They talk composer-director shorthand including John Williams and the "shark" scene from Jaws, Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan's one-page brief for Interstellar; they discuss the "great soundtrack, shame about the film" phenomenon referencing S. Darko, Cannibal Holocaust, Exorcist II: The Heretic; and how Jack worked with composer Benjamin Squires on his own short film The Second Time Around.

Mark also talks about Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells and the eerie 15/8 time signature that makes The Exorcist's theme feel so wrong, and gives some hard-won advice on sticking with a creative career when nobody's paying you yet.
