The rather marvellous clarinet (and voice) of @AdrianCoxMusic features on the latest episode of Harmonious World. Find it wherever you get your podcasts.

Such a talent. I love the clips of him on piano. He brought so much to our world.

[Nile Rodgers @nilerodgers]

My friend Gary Harris brought this musician named D'Angelo over to my NYC apt. He was trying to figure out what to do with the music he'd brought with him. I listened to every cut...not just out of respect but because it was smoking. At the end of the encounter he asked me, "What should I do with it?"

I remember this as if it were yesterday. I said, "Put it out. It's perfect!" Being the #artist he is, I guess he had to explore some ways to make it better.

About a year later I heard one of those songs on the radio. It was #genius and it was exactly what he had played for me. I know...I still have the original cassette. ~Nile Rodgers❤️🙏🏾✊🏾

Rest in Power, D’Angelo 🕊️

A true Maestro — his voice, vision, & spirit reshaped the sound of a generation.

He didn’t just make music — he built a language of soul, rooted in tradition but entirely his own.

Fly high, D'.

D’Angelo was one of a kind. As a pioneer in neo-soul, he inspired a generation of singers, and helped shape music today. Michelle and I are thinking of his family, and all those who loved and admired him. https://t.co/Y97bD9O0E2

Happiest of all birthdays to Mr @ashleyslater247

Time for a reprise of ‘Turn on, Tune in, Cop out’ on @jazzfm?

[Hilary Seabrook @HilarySWriter]

My favourite moment of the entire two seasons of ‘Severance’ is the moment when innie Mark hears outie Mark talk about “Helleny”.

Genius writing from @DanErixon and the team. #SeveranceFinale @AppleTV

Zach is being such a good dog at the vets. Jab time.

Still grateful to @WoodgreenPets for sharing him.

[Hilary Seabrook @HilarySWriter]

@jazzfm @LakeciaB @OfficialMeshell @SamaraJoy99 I’m glad I’m not the one who has to decide between them! Extraordinary musicians.

They’re all on the list to hopefully appear as guests on Harmonious World! #wishlist

Such sad news.

[Robbie Vincent @RobbieVincent]

Sad to report yet more tragic news for the music industry Angie Stone has been killed in a road accident this weekend. With band members on her way back to Atlanta from a Mardi Gras gig in Mobil. She was 63 yrs old, thoughts with her loved ones. RIP Angie #AngieStone

[Hilary Seabrook @HilarySWriter]

@PhilBeadle We’re here. Talk to us. None of us does this alone. Go to a cafe. Buy a drink and a snack. Even that little conversation in real life will help and you need to eat.

[Hilary Seabrook @HilarySWriter]

Definitely the end of an era. The Jam has been on in the background of my whole life. A sad loss. RIP Rick Buckler

[Mark Baxter @TheMumper]

That band were a massive influence on pretty much all I have done socially & work wise from a teenager, up to this point.
I met Rick over the years & I found him a really nice fella & good company.
A real shock to hear the news yesterday.
Travel well mate and thank you.

[Hilary Seabrook @HilarySWriter]

@CrowleyOnAir Hi. Indeed. Thanks. All good here. Lots going on and exciting props ahead! Hopefully bump into you soon x

[Hilary Seabrook @HilarySWriter]

Watching the film that took the onto the roof was riveting. A real musical moment. Insightful and joyful.

[Gary Crowley @CrowleyOnAir]

“I would like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we've passed the audition.”

They most certainly did 😃
