My dad just bought Take Five, by Dave Brubek.
I saw him (Dave) play it live when I was in college ... in the 60's ... awesome experience.
I introduced a former client to the classics, at his request.
Knowing that I don't 'hear' jazz, he sent me the Brubeck CD (Time Out, etc.) and asked I listen to it at least twice. I was on nearly familiar ground with the Rondo a la Turk, the rest was gibberish to me. Jarring every nerve in my bod, I didn't have the heart to tell him. He took to the classics as a duck would ..... etc.
Fingernails manipulating a chalkboard, that is what jazz is to me.
