[The Jazz Estate @thejazzestate]

Remembering the great Alice Coltrane who was born on this day in 1937. An accomplished pianist and one of the few harpists in the history of jazz, Coltrane was also one of the foremost exponents of spiritual jazz. Her eclectic music proved widely influential both within and outside the world of jazz.

She was married to jazz saxophonist and composer John Coltrane, with whom she performed in 1966–1967. Alice Coltrane recorded many albums as a bandleader, beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s for Impulse! and other major record labels.

Here, she is playing the harp in 1970. This clip is from the Black Journal documentary. The segment focuses on the life of Alice Coltrane and her children in the wake of the death of her husband John Coltrane.

@realJNolan It goes deeper than that. He had codes, and they went over a lot of heads…

Vice President Cop releases a statement about Sonya Massey and doesn’t use the word Black, woman or murder, but I’m supposed to be pissin myself with excitement that she’s running for President Cop? Pass.

I'm constantly flabbergasted that "I'm Me" by @AlienMacKitty isn't that biggest song in America rn. You telling me a 2nd generation artist makes a hit THAT UNDENIABLE and the Bay Area gatekeepers ain't trip over themselves to signal boost that to national radio play???

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Today is a heavy day.

Both Breonna Taylor and Tyre Nichols were born on this day and both should be celebrating their 31st birthdays.

They should be surrounded by those who love them with music, food, and laughter.

Their lives were stolen.

It’s disheartening to see one of best Bay Area podcasts — predominantly covering local communities and creatives of color — get cut for financial metrics. Honestly don’t think I’d be a journalist if it wasn’t for this show showing me a way. @OGpenn & @marisolreports 💔💔

if you see how much Black revolutionary/radical writing is locked up in university archives, no way you’ll come out tellin folks they just need to google harder. some essential instructive writing is inaccessible to folks. we should be working tirelessly to make it available.

It was heartbreaking to report this piece on Zoe Reidy Watts, a young, vibrant artist whose life was cut short. Her boyfriend is facing murder and domestic violence charges, and her death has sparked a reckoning on gender violence in the arts community https://t.co/JIZFkS9sZG
