"My goal is to live the truly religious life, and express it in my music. If you live it, when you play there's no problem because the music is part of the whole thing. To be a musician is really something. It goes very, very deep. My music is the spiritual expression of what I am - my faith, my knowledge, my being … When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hangups … I want to speak to their souls." - John Coltrane

Very sad day in the world of Jazz today. We lost Dave Brubeck 😔 It’s because of Dave’s “Time Out” album that I became a jazz musician. Your music will live on forever! Thank you, Dave Brubeck. 🎹🎶🎼 #Jazz #TimeOut #DaveBrubeck
Time Out was the first Jazz album I ever heard. It was that moment when I knew I was going to be a jazz musician. I will continue to listen to your music till I die. Thank you, Dave! You will be missed but never forgotten.
