A treat for listeners of @raregrooveshow each of this years shows have been uploaded to @mixcloud links on my timeline 👇

[Jazz Foundation of America @JazzFoundation]

Sonny Rollins (1930–2026). In 2015, Jazz Foundation of America honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award at “A Great Night in Harlem.” Even without his horn, he lit up the Apollo with his spirit and wisdom: “It all comes from jazz.” Rest in peace, Sonny.

@Echoesmag I finally managed to cop a vinyl version of this in the UK. Via @SoulBrotherRec - it’s my album of 2025 and now maybe 26 and is utterly sublime. #ritasatch- saw her perform with #garybartz @UnionChapelUK

Better words you will never find. 🙏🏻

Our great Patriarch has left us for higher realms. Maestro Sonny Rollins was a relentless seeker of sound, and a deep spiritual seeker. His contribution to this music is major and continues to inspire. A life well lived Maestro. Hari Om Tat Sat. Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi

Impulse Records mourns the passing of Sonny Rollins, one of the greatest tenor saxophonists and improvisers in jazz history. In a recording career that stretched back to 1949, the Saxophone Colossus made countless landmark recordings.

Sonny Rollins 🙏🏿

Rest in peace, Sonny Rollins…

Nicknamed the “Saxophone Colossus,” he reshaped modern jazz with fearless improvisation, a towering tenor tone, and timeless classics like Saxophone Colossus and The Bridge.

One of the last great bebop giants, his sound and spirit changed jazz forever.

[Herbie Hancock @herbiehancock]

Loudly celebrating 100 years of @milesdavis today!

“Miles never said much about our playing. He just wasn’t the kind of leader who gave notes or made suggestions unless we asked him to. Even then, he usually responded with cryptic comments, almost like little puzzles...

[Melodies & Masterpieces @SVG__Collection]

100 years ago today, Miles Davis was born.

[Jeff Weiss @Passionweiss]

RIP Phife, the 5-foot assassin, the greatest #2 in rap history, the earthly balance to the abstract, more hits than the Braves and the Yankees.

10 years absent today.
