One more sad departure, and this one especially hurts if you are a jazz fan. The great Dave Brubeck, whose piano-driven 1961 hit "Take Five" remains a masterpiece, passed away today, just one day short of his 92nd birthday. More here:

"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt

I will take it any day !
