(Every family has its black sheep; among the Brubecks there are two: Michael, 23, a horse-trainer, and Sister Catherine, 18, whose ambition is to teach underprivileged children.) When the family gets together to perform, as happened recently at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island, they are billed as Two Generations of Brubeck...
