When I commented that Dave Brubeck died last week, my brother commented, “I don’t know who Dave Brubeck is.”
Dave Brubeck is one of those musicians that even if you don’t know his name, you know him. When people say they like jazz, they usually mean that they like Dave Brubeck. He is the man that brought jazz to the masses. Look on his works, ye mighty, and despair!
To be fair, I do recall playing a trivia game with your brother when he rattled off Menachem Begin’s name as casually as if they were besties.
Yeah, but who doesn’t know the 6th Prime Minister of Israel. 😉
