Excerpt: This was already shaping up to be a commemorative season for Mr. Brubeck. He’s the subject of a documentary, “In His Own Sweet Way,” scheduled to run on Turner Classic Movies next Monday — his 90th birthday — after its premiere on Saturday at Lincoln Center. (The film’s executive producer is Clint Eastwood, honorary board chairman of the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific.) His stylish Columbia Records output has been repackaged for two new boxed sets and a two-CD compilation. And “The Definitive Dave Brubeck on Fantasy, Concord Jazz, and Telarc” features both older and more recent material, concluding with a track recorded by his current working band.
