RIP Dave Brubeck

Legendary pianist and composer Dave Brubeck passed away on December 5, one day shy of his 92nd birthday.

I don’t remember when it happened by in high school I fell in love with jazz. Maybe it happened when I was casually scanning local radio stations and stumbled on the jazz station. There was something comforting about the seemingly improvisational nature of the sounds that allowed me to detach from the chaos of living in a house with six other people while still trying to be a good student and stay out of trouble.
