"One of the reasons I believe in jazz is that the oneness of man can come through the rhythm of your heart. It’s the same anyplace in the world, that heartbeat. It’s the first thing you hear when you’re born — or before you’re born — and it’s the last thing you hear. Your mother’s heartbeat is the first sound you ever hear and your own heartbeat is the last." - Dave Brubeck, born this day in 1920.
