Goodbye Mr Brubeck

I like Jazz but I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, Dave Brubeck is one of the artists I like most though, so I was saddened to hear of his death yesterday. Here's a fantastic video of the Dave Brubeck Quartet from 1964, it's half an hour long so get a cup of tea (or coffee if you're so inclined) and settle in.

RIP Dave Brubeck 6 Dec 1920- 5 Dec 2012
