Dave Brubeck is a master at multi-tasking.

Just take a look at his exercise room, where you'll find an electric keyboard mounted on his treadmill.

"I'm so busy, I'm just trying to keep up with the mail," Brubeck joked during an interview from his Wilton home last week. "The only way I (have the time to) practice and exercise is to have an electric piano at shoulder level. Otherwise, I wouldn't get any exercise."

Indeed, the act of multi-tasking is a necessity for the jazz legend who, at the age of 89, is still touring and composing.

Despite his busy schedule, Brubeck was gracious enough to make time for an interview regarding his upcoming performance with The Dave Brubeck Quartet at thePalace Theater. He also will be honored with theStamford Center for the Arts' first-ever Arts Legacy Award for his contributions to music education.
