On this day in 1969 🍏 The Beatles released Abbey Road! Getting George Martin back on board and setting aside the differences in the band, the final Beatles recordings shines... George Harrison’s songs ‘Here Comes The Sun’ and ‘Something’ being high points. #thebeatles #thebeatlesforever

One of my favorite albums was released on this day in 1969. THE BAND’s second, and self-titled LP. The record was preserved into the National Recording Registry because of it’s ‘cultural, historic, and aesthetic importance... reflecting life in the United States.’ Not bad for a bunch of Canadian’s!

One of my biggest musical hero’s, John Coltrane, would have turned 100 in just a few days, and we’re celebrating; Last night was an extraordinaire gig in San Francisco with Branford Marsalis Quartet. Tonight we’re looking forward to a performance by his son, the mighty Ravi Coltrane! #sfjazz

The great uilleann piper Paddy Keenan has left his body, aged 79. I saw him perform with The Bothy Band in the ‘70s, (maybe the greatest trad. band ever) I also had the privilege of playing a San Francisco session with Paddy in the ‘80s. A huge inspiration to so many of us… This is a major loss 🖤

To the memory of the mighty Wayne Shorter, who would have been 93 today —he sadly passed away in March tree years ago.
