C&L's Late Night Music Club With Dave Brubeck

Dave Brubeck almost got kicked out of Conservatory when it was discovered that he couldn't read music. After several teachers came forward to plead his case, he was allowed to graduate as long as he promised to never teach piano. He died a legend yesterday at 91. R.I.P.
