Dave Brubeck’s voice

Today would have been his 92nd birthday if he hadn’t left us yesterday. But he left us with a lot. His music plays in my memory today and also in my memory is a picture of his life as a man who was dedicated to his craft and the world. He changed the world with his music and his life.

Here is a quote that applies to much more than just music – words to live by:

“There’s a way of playing safe, there’s a way of using tricks and there’s the way I like to play which is dangerously where you’re going to take a chance on making mistakes in order to create something you haven’t created before.”
