All I ever new about him was a couple of lines in Donald Fagen's "New Frontier":

I hear you're mad about Brubeck
I like your eyes, I like him too
He's an artist, a pioneer
We've got to have some music on the new frontier

I did see another familiar title of his on Youtube - "Take the A-train" is the first song on the Rollong Stones' Still Life live album - it was playing over the sound system before the band was introduced, and they included it on the track listing for the album.

It seems like the people who made the music I listened to listened to Brubeck. If I was 20 years older I might have been a fan.

You quoted the very lines from Donald Fagen I was going to.

When I did my jazz show on WVGS one of the few vocals I played was Al Jarreau's version of Blue Rondo A La Turk
