Bill,
The Times just posted Dave Brubeck's obit. He was the 1st jazz musician I ever heard, recorded or otherwise. My older brother left me a copy of Time Out before he left for college. I think I played that thing until the vinyl grooves wore out. I can hear the fantastic syncopation of Blue Rondo Al La Turk, DADA DADA DADA, DA DA DA DADA DADA DADA in my head. Brubeck made jazz a lifelong passion for me and no doubt for millions like me.
He'll be missed.
Eli
