“Composition for ‘Jazz,’ “ (1915), by Albert Gleizes, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York
“Jazz Stands for freedom. It’s supposed to be the voice of freedom: Get out there and improvise, and take chances, and don’t be perfectionist —leave that to the classical musicians.’’
— Dave Brubeck (1920-2012), jazz composer. He and his wife moved to a bucolic part of widely bucolic Wilton, Conn. in 1961, and that remained his home until his death.
Wilton is an affluent residential community with lots of open land, historic architecture, such as the Round House, and colonial homes. Many residents commute to Stamford, New York City or other places in Greater New York.
