Lester and....Miles

[Jazz at Lincoln Center @jazzdotorg]

On this day in 1969, Miles Davis took his first step into his now-famous electric period with the recording of "In a Silent Way."

@RollingStone's review of the album called it "the deepest, most lasting sustenance to our souls, the living contemporary definition of great art."

Ella Fitzgerald stepped into the studio to record a celebration of Cole Porter's work on this day in 1956.
The album would be the first ever released by the newly-formed Verve Records and would be widely celebrated as a triumph of both popular music and vocal jazz.

"Hugh Masekela’s trumpet playing and singing personified the struggle against apartheid, giving voice to a resistance."

Today we mourn the passing of #HughMasekela​, a monumental figure in South African jazz and a revered anti-apartheid activist.

2018. For those more devoted to order (not being disruptive by kneeling during the anthem), than to justice: This happened in America, where the flag flies high and the National Anthem is more loved than Black people. #MLK50Forward #MLKDay

"Jazz means working things out musically with other people. You have to listen to other musicians and play with them even if you don’t agree with what they’re playing. It teaches you the very opposite of racism and anti-Semitism." Wynton Marsalis, on the democracy of jazz #Jazz

"The rhythm section sacrifices attention to support the soloists. But the rhythm section defines the character of the group..."

In the latest "Wynton at Harvard" clip, @WyntonMarsalis��� discusses the dynamics inherent to a jazz band's structure and how they affect the music.
