Dave Brubeck

Having been trained as a classical musician, and growing up in a household where jazz and pop music were considered below contempt - what an eye opener and education it was to hear Brubeck's early albums. It was when I was at University, living away from home, that the epiphany hit me. How much he did for the music world - my experience listening to him was equal to my first exposure to Glenn Gould's Bach.

For me, the two artists changed my vision of what music really means.

Thank you Dave. Thank you Glenn.
