Sunday Night Music Club XXX

30.

That's what XXX means in this context. Nothing tawdry.

They're simply Roman numerals.

Good. Now that I've cleared that up, this week's SNMC feature jazz legend and pioneer Dave Brubeck, who sadly passed just one day shy of his 92nd birthday last week.

I've seen Brubeck probably a half-dozen times over the years, in jazz festivals ranging from New Haven to Newport to Saratoga and elsewhere. And he was always a pleasure to hear and experience. His influence on music is indelible.

He will be missed, but his music will live on forever.
