In 1955, the recording sessions for what became 'Round About Midnight began. The performances snap and sparkle, the quality of the recording is bright and warm, and the tunes—still leaning on ballads and a few bop standards—sound reinvigorated.
“Music can transform you, and stimulate your feeling of being at one with everything — which most of the time we are, even if we’re not conscious of it.” - Jack DeJohnette https://t.co/vkFGBh3m4T
Fly High, Jack 🕊️
One of the greatest ever to sit behind the kit. A rhythm that shaped generations — from Miles and Chick Corea to Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans, Sonny Rollins, Charles Lloyd, & beyond.
Your legacy lives on, Maestro. Rest In Power.
