The atmosphere Bill Evans creates, the emotion in Miles Davis’ trumpet as it cuts through. Nothing else sounds like “Blue in Green”. It’s a perfect song.

Wes Montgomery’s iconic sound came from necessity: practicing late at night after factory shifts, he used his thumb to keep the volume down so he wouldn’t wake up his family.

On this day in 1968: @thebeatles released their self-titled double album, commonly referred to as 'The White Album,' in the United States.
