With a guitar in his hands, #JoePass could do whatever he wanted. It was an extension of his body.
Those warm notes, those precise phrases, combined with an unmatched sense of time, made him a true legend.
His sound was full and round, clean but never cold.

For nearly ten years Herbie Nichols asked Blue Note to record his music. Then he went back to playing Dixieland to pay the rent. He died at 44. He wrote "Lady Sings the Blues," and almost nobody knows it is his. His story on Wiki Jazz 👇

Vaughan singing Misty during her 1964 tour in Sweden (and legend has it she had a cold that night). This is definitely one of the most beautiful things you'll see today.

With "What a Wonderful World", Louis Armstrong gave us an anthem to the joy of everyday life. No perfection, just trees, blue skies, and people connecting.

In '61, Hank Mobley joined Miles Davis, replacing Coltrane—a tough act to follow.
​In a '73 interview, Mobley recalled telling Miles:
​"I had never played before with someone who played the sax like Art Tatum."

This is the story of that day: the soda company, the State Department, the songs the Congolese wrote for him, and the question that has followed it for sixty years. Did Satchmo really stop a war?

We are used to seeing them almost exclusively with their instruments in our hands. In our minds, their world begins and ends within those notes.
Yet, these extraordinary archival images remind us that even the greatest #jazz geniuses had a life made of everyday moments.

Keith Jarrett, "Over the Rainbow", Tokyo 1984. Alone at the piano, he lets the melody surface slowly while the harmony opens in unexpected ways. Improvisation becomes storytelling. One of the most moving performances ever.
