Happy 100th Birthday John Coltrane! "[We] shared a lot of the same beliefs and aspirations and hopes and joys about the things that music could do—change the world and all of these things... we were kindred spirits in many ways." –S.R. (to Bret Primack) youtu.be/3MkUvZUTFUc?...

Do you remember those ‘if it’s too loud you’re too old’ stickers? They were right.

"Metal Machine Miles: electronic beeps & metallic clangs, and a very looped robotic feel, engaged by trance & repetition" Did #MilesDavis envision drum 'n' bass, hip hop, trip hop, and jungle in 1972?! Quite the middle finger to jazz purists clinging to the past. #Jazzsky youtu.be/nb8p73-7fI0?...
