The authorship of “Blue in Green” remains debated. Although credited to Miles Davis on “Kind of Blue”, pianist Bill Evans maintained that he wrote the piece.

Whoever penned it, its haunting beauty has made it one of jazz’s most beloved ballads.

Wes Montgomery performing "Here's That Rainy Day" live in London, 1965.

With his unmistakable thumb-picked touch and effortless swing, Montgomery redefined the language of jazz guitar. A master of melody whose influence continues to resonate across generations.

[I’m named after El Debarge @hydrothemc]

“All I Do” is my favorite Stevie Wonder song on many days.
He wrote it when he was 16 for Tammi Terrell.
She recorded it but Motown didn’t release it.
He put it on Hotter Than July with updated instrumentation.
Motown released the original in 2002 and… it’s the better version.

Lauryn Hill getting booed at age 13 during Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater in 1987. Later, she won 8 Grammy Awards, became the first female rapper to win Album of the Year, the first woman to win 5 Grammys in one night, and sold millions with The Fugees and her solo work 🔥

Trump is attacking the National Museum of African American History and Culture, so I just gave them a follow.

Happy celestial birthday to Lee Morgan 🕊️

A trumpet voice that helped define hard bop. Bold, soulful, and endlessly inventive, his music remains a touchstone for generations of jazz musicians and listeners alike.

[Jazz Foundation of America @JazzFoundation]

Captured during a rare 1976 German TV broadcast, Al Jarreau's performance of Take Five is pure musical magic. A masterclass in creativity and rhythm.

[Golden State Warriors @warriors]

On the court or on the course, Stephen’s shot making is elite 🎯

The great Lee Morgan was born today. Recording with him was ALWAYS exciting.

For The Procrastinator we had 2 rehearsals as he was writing the music. We then recorded the entire album in one day.
