Uh, that article is from 2012....just saying. It certainly doesn't make him any less important though, but we can't blame 2016 for this one.
With that being said, here's one of my favorite songs of his from one of my favorite albums
Good catch. I was shocked since I thought he was already gone. Call it the 2016 syndrome.

Lol. It's all good. I say we now use this thread as a place to honor all of the great musicians we lost in "2016" with YouTube links of their best or our personal favorites.

Yeah, Brubeck died a few years ago. Was fortunate to have seen him live, later in his life. Guy was still touring in his 80's. Take 5 was his most famous piece, but I've always been more partial to Blue Rondo a la Turk and its 9/8 time signature. And yeah -- Paul Desmond.

Caught him at Shelly's Manne Hole on North Cahuenga in Hollywood. In the audience was Gilligan, (Bob Denver). Would loved to have gotten his autograph but really felt I would have been intruding. Jazz musicians are the epitome of cool. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
