DAVE BRUBECK PASSES AWAY

Dave Brubeck who passed away today brings to memory a gig I did with him  one December evening. Westconn University had been practicing for a year for the Dave Brubeck Christmas Concert which was called La Fiesta de la Posada (A Mexican Christmas) which included The Westconn Orchestra, Chorus and Dave Brubeck's quartet The concert was two weeks away and they needed two guitarist. They couldn't find anyone at Westconn to read the score, so I was hired and another guitarist from Manhattan. It was a special night and a great musical memory. Dave Brubeck was one of the giants in jazz as a composer and a player. I need to Take Five and may his music live forever.
