Just learned Dave Brubeck has died [View all]

I work at a jazz radio station; we got an email from a local jazz musician, who is touring with Chris Brubeck, that Dave Brubeck, whose 92nd birthday is tomorrow, has died.

What a pioneer, what a lion. He will be missed. RIP, Dave, and thanks for all you did for jazz.

Waiting for an official link before posting in LBN.
