“Jazz, the late greats: Dave Brubeck and our local Dave McKenna whom I heard live multiple times; Wynton Marsalis, Keith Jarrett. Folk, the 60’s: Joan Baez, Theodor Bikel, Pete Seeger on 12-string guitar (Seeger played at Brown about a decade ago – fabulous!) Classical: Casals, Rostropovich, Segovia, David Oistrakh, Yehudi Menuhin, Perlman (all of whom I had the privilege of hearing live) ;)”
There you have it! Next time you see any one of these professors, make sure to compliment them on their awesome music taste, and ask how one can ever achieve their level of coolness.
