sabai,
It`s clear you have much admiration for Dave Brubeck and that of course is fine. Rok does`nt hold him in the same high regard as you(but he does like him) what`s wrong with that? we all are just engaged in a discussion and expressing our personal thoughts.I don`t rank Brubeck as high as you and you may not rank Dexter Gordon,Sonny Stitt or say Lee Morgan as I do, so what. This is an artform and will be purely subjective. What emotionally moves one person may not move another, that`s to be expected.I have been profoundly influenced by Miles Davis and Charlie Parker, for other jazz fans they may not even like them at all. Another excellent jazz CD, Carmen McRae "Bittersweet" from 1964, just wonderful music.
Regards,
