The first George Russell composition I ever heard totally knocked me out. But then, just as I was starting to come back to my senses, Eric Dolphy‘s solo came on. Check him out, and HBD Eric Dolphy! #music #musicsky #jazzmusic #jazzsky #happybirthday youtu.be/WYHALf_NFK4?...

Happy birthday, Michel Legrand. His 1959 album (what a year for music!) “Legrand Jazz” has some of my favorite musicians on it. #music #musicsky #jazzmusic #jazzsky #happybirthday youtu.be/RZXab2T8zXQ?...

One more for Tony Williams today, on the anniversary of his passing. This track blew my mind the first time I heard it. Still does. He sounds incredible, and with John McLaughlin and Larry Young...amazing. #music #musicsky #jazzmusic #jazzsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmMH...

Today is the anniversary of Tony Williams' passing. It is unbelievable that he passed on the same day as his teacher, Alan Dawson. I love a zillion recordings of his, but here's an early composition that I find fascinating. #music #musicsky #jazzmusic #jazzsky youtu.be/x-lGBI_9iu8?...

Today is the anniversary of Alan Dawson's passing. He has been a HUGE part of my musical life, even though neither I nor my father (drummer, Dawson fan) ever studied with him. Phenomenal musician and educator. #music #musicsky #jazzmusic #jazzsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqS9...

1/ This live set is UNBELIEVABLE. That is, if you dig Miles’ electric period. #livemusic #jazzmusic #jazzsky #music #musicsky
