bopster

If you are into jazz, then you can't reflect on Milhaud without remembering Dave Brubeck went to Mills College and studied with Milhaud--was kind of his personal dick boy for awhile--and since Dave couldn't read sheet music, as it was called in those days, Milhaud advised him to not study classical piano but to concentrate on his compositional talents, which old Dave did to go on to, I would suppose, the most successful of any of the post-Bop jazz performers, and to say Dave ain't a bopster is to not know much about jazz.
