Embracing the tradition of jazz, while moving it forward to create new legacies.

[Christian McBride @mcbridesworld]

As we approach 2023, I ask all of us to count our blessings and to look for the GOOD things in life just like my childhood friend Joey DeFrancesco did. When you play or listen to music, let it inspire you to do something constructive. ❤️🙏🏾 🕊️

Thrilled this treasure is now available to stream or download! #AndrewHill #PassingShips https://t.co/qor6wkOzl9

Recorded in 1969 it was initially shelved. Decades later Hill urged producer Michael Cuscuna to revisit the tapes which revealed a masterpiece https://t.co/oCpvxXJ2ic

Joe Henderson recorded the quintessential album Mode for Joe, also his final studio recording as a leader for @BlueNoteRecords, on this day in 1966.

Remembering Michel Legrand, the epitome of taste and advocacy in #jazz. Rest peacefully, just like your #music.

Celebrating Django Reinhardt, born today in 1910. Fantastic early #guitar innovator and #jazz #music master.

[Jazz at Lincoln Center @jazzdotorg]

On this day in 1965, Miles Davis stepped into the studio with @Wayne_Shorter, @HerbieHancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams to record the sessions that would become E.S.P.

[John Coltrane @JohnColtrane]

Coltrane was inspired by MLK’s speech, delivered in the church sanctuary 3 days after the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. Like the speech “Alabama” shifts its tone from one of mourning to one of renewed determination for the struggle against racially motivated crimes.
