I was saddened to find out that legendary jazz pianist/ composer Dave Brubeckpassed away this morning just a day shy of his 92nd birthday. The jazz giant was known for many classics like "Take Five", "The Duke", "I'm In a Dancing Mood", "In Your Own Sweet Way", "Blue Rondo à la Turk" and many others. Brubeck was probably best known for consistently experimenting with unusual time signatures in his music, along with superimposing contrasting rhythms and tones. It's safe to say that today the jazz world lost one it's greatest iconic and accomplished musicians. Fortunately for all of us and future generations, we have his brilliant music to enjoy and remember him by.
Rest in peace, Dave Brubeck.

For the second time in two weeks, we sadly lost a true music legend and icon when Ravi Shankar passed away at the age of 92 yesterday. Lauded as the 'godfather of world music', there probably wasn't another artist who did more for bringing Indian classical music to the western world, influencing many great musicians like John & Alice Coltrane (who named their son, Ravi Coltrane, after the sitar master), The Beatles (especially George Harrison), Arthur Russell, David Crosby, John McLaughlin, Don Cherry, and others.
He was a great spirit who will be deeply missed.
