Dave Brubeck...we lost a legend today

Mr. Brubeck died of a heart attack on the way to the cardiologist today. A true pioneer of Jazz. He will be missed.

A great performance and a great recording. One of the great things about hifi is its a time machine of sorts, sit back and become part of a special night as it happened in 1963

One can not consider himself an "aficionado", if one is not acquainted with "Yusef Lateef", maybe one should "google" the name.
