So much wisdom in @nfmusic’s interview with the wonderful @KadiatuKM in @thetimes. Hard to pick a favourite quote — but I’m going with: “If you have strong music in school, you also have children who believe in themselves and believe in each other.” https://t.co/mcc88ad8ev

American Symphony, a film from @HGMedia, is directed by the talented Matthew Heineman and follows the journey of @JonBatiste and @SuleikaJaouad. It’s an intimate portrait of the healing power of art and love through personal success and private struggles. I hope you’ll check it out on Netflix on November 29th.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen as confident, and gloriously in-yer-face an opening as the great @SamaraJoy99 gave us at the @BarbicanCentre tonight as part of the @LondonJazzFest: two minutes completely a Capella on reincarnation of a lovebird by Mingus. Immense. A major talent.
UK premiere of @fanny_tom_film, fascinating new documentary featuring @IsataKm. Great Q&A after with director Sheila Hayman and @sanditoksvig hosting
