Brubeck Was Amazing
Wow!! Brubeck was absolutely amazing. He is simply unmatched in jazz. No one mixes time signatures like that. Amazing. It was a real privilege to see a legend who was on the scene during the height of bop and hard bop.

Wow. I probably would have cried when he entered the room. Wow.

and i would have probably broke down if i'd been in a room with him. alas, i was hundreds of miles away, connected with a telephone wire.
