I was sitting at home feeling sorry for myself because I missed graduation because of #COVID19. It is early in the morning and I'm grumbling that I have to operate. Then I see this in my chair. I'm speechless. I'm floored. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. @marshallsurgres

Why disappear at the peak of your career?
Rollins wasn’t satisfied.
Determined to reach another level, he stepped away from the spotlight to refine his craft as innovators like John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman were reshaping jazz. 🎵

In 1959, Sonny Rollins was the top tenor saxophonist in jazz. Then, at the peak of his powers, he vanished.
No gigs. No studios.
For 2 years, he practiced up to 16 hours a day in isolation—on the Williamsburg Bridge. 🧵👇

📷 Born to do it. 📷 Michael Jackson wasn't just a performer—he was a child prodigy who changed the music world forever. In this clip, Larry Fulcher talks about how a young MJ might have had the voice of a 5 or 6-year-old, but he possessed the "chops" of a 40-year-old veteran.

@MLFootball Still breaks my heart to this day to see that play! 😢 Clearly a catch. That was the Dallas Cowboys' best chance of going to the Super Bowl in the last 15 to 20 years.

From our podcast with legendary drummer James Gadson.

It is weird how cut-throat the music business is. James isn't the only musician who made substantial contributions to a song but didn't get songwriting credits. It is sad. 📷📷 #music

This is an awful story. This is American immigration gone wrong, again. Despicable.

From our podcast with legendary drummer James Gadson. Larry mentions how everyone relaxes when Gadson comes into the room. Gadson was one of those guys who could just play. He worked with the song. He always found the groove. #JamesGadson https://t.co/Rwwl0jpUOl
