Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.
Depeche Mode live at the Cabaret Futura, London - February 16, 1981

Depeche Mode Live Wiki present a phenomenal soundboard recording of Depeche Mode performing at the Cabaret Futura in London, 45 years ago today. Stream & download: https://t.co/w0jWRLNgSF
Depeche Mode are seen live in 1989 performing “Personal Jesus,” released that year as a single. Built around a blues inspired riff and sparse electronic pulse, the song marked a decisive shift in the band’s late-80s sound.
The cast and crew of ‘Stand by, Mother’ rock the red carpet last night!

On this date in 1961 English Guitarist, Vocalist, Songwriter, and Producer Andrew James Taylor is born in Tynemouth, Northumberland, England.
Taylor began playing guitar at the age of 11 and was soon playing with local bands, even producing one at the age of 16. He received guitar tuition from Dave Black, a member of the short-lived, post-David Bowie version of Bowie's The Spiders from Mars. He dropped out of school early to tour England and Europe with several different bands, playing working men's clubs and air force bases. Then in April 1980, as Taylor puts it, "I made that fateful train journey down to Birmingham."
Duran Duran began their rise to fame at a Birmingham club named the Rum Runner. The club was owned by their managers and mentors, brothers Paul and Michael Berrow. It was centered on the music and ostentatious fashion of the era, particularly disco music, which had fused with punk and electronic to create the sound and look adopted by various New Romantic acts of the time.
Andy Taylor joined the band in April 1980 after responding to a Melody Maker magazine advertisement and has been credited for playing a vital role in shaping and developing their early songs, working creatively with Nick Rhodes playing around the keyboardist's patterns and solidifying the melodies, and assisting in forming the band's "rough, undisciplined mixture[s]" of punk, disco and electronic styles into tight, cohesive structures.
The band signed to EMI Records in December 1980, only seven months after completing their line-up. Their debut single "Planet Earth" was released shortly after that, with their self-titled debut album, Duran Duran, released in June 1981. By 1983, the band was a global success story.
While Duran Duran were on hiatus in 1985, Andy Taylor and bassist John Taylor joined session drummer and former Chic member Tony Thompson and Robert Palmer to form the Power Station. Their eponymous album, recorded mostly at the New York studio after which the band was named, reached the top 20 in the UK and top 10 in the US, spawning two hit singles with "Some Like It Hot" and a cover of the T. Rex song "Get It On (Bang a Gong)". Palmer performed live with the band only once that year, on Saturday Night Live. After Palmer bowed out at the last moment to go back into the studio to further his newly revitalized solo career, the band toured and even played Live Aid with vocalist Michael Des Barres as well as making an appearance in a Miami Vice season 2 episode, "Whatever Works". Taylor also performed with Duran Duran at the Live Aid event.
Palmer recorded the album Riptide in 1985, recruiting Thompson and Andy Taylor to play on some tracks and Power Station producer Bernard Edwards, who worked with Thompson in the group Chic, to lead the production. Palmer recruited Wally Badarou, another Compass Point Star, who had laid synthesizer tracks on the Power Station album plus his long-term drummer, Dony Wynn, for this production as well.
Taylor said: "I don't think any of us could have known at the time that this little venture would lead to the breakup of DD but it did or at least it exposed the cracks in the pavement. I think we were all surprised at the amount of success the project achieved, particularly Robert, whose career was reignited in the USA. It was an extraordinary time, everything we were associated with just flew off the shelves. As well as being the opportunity to express a major musical statement, I guess it was also as much of a statement against the label demands."
@globaljazzqueen a little #pghjazz send off on this presidential day… “The Theme” is still the traditional set end here, alive and well in hands of Roger & great young drummers leading from behind
