Wayne Shorter, my best friend, left us with courage in his heart, love and compassion for all, and a seeking spirit for the eternal future. He was ready for his rebirth. As it is with every human being, he is irreplaceable . . .
RIP Pharoah Sanders, a sacred priest disguised as a tenor sax sorcerer, whose solo opuses & work w/ John & Alice Coltrane levitated into realms of time, space and divine cosmic reverie that no one traversed before or since. The holiest seer of spiritual jazz, the last of the best
RIP Scratch Perry, the Black Ark Noah, who warped reggae into mad science, brought the country to Kingston, mountains, earth, & trees reimagined, herb exhaled onto the console to alchemize funky sci-fi dub. Greatest producer of all-time (any genre). Who upset time, space, sound.
Charlie Watts lived a great long life but it is overwhelming to think about the death of a key witness to nearly the entire lifespan of rock n' roll as a popular art form — there are many who follow it, some who study it, and a few who lived inside it, and now one of them is gone
At the grocery store, wearing my new vintage Dead hat and I see these dudes. I was like "What's up guys!?! Grateful Dead!" And the dude on the left goes, "Whatever kid" and turns away.
Sending love to the Livingston family as Bunny Wailer makes his transition. A founding member of The Wailers and a reggae icon in his own right, he will be missed but not forgotten. “Live for yourself & you will live in vain—live for others, you will live again.” Rest in power ✊🏾 https://t.co/4gi38yLmiu
