Self Promotion Sunday - W.R.H. This tune written by Duane Allen. Part 1 is an open jam over a bass line. Part 2 is an 8 bar chord progression. Sometimes we refer to this as “copy & paste”, putting 2 unrelated ideas next to each other. It ends up providing nice contrast. #jazzsky youtu.be/8QTZ-u4nz-I

Recorded this day, 1972: Miles leads a large band for the first of three sessions (the third being for overdub recordings) for the album 𝙊𝙣 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙧. This dense, seething psychedelic funk stew was edited together from take 3.

Great feature by @nytimes.com looking back on the iconic "Great Day in Harlem" photograph shot in 1958 with so many legendary #jazz artists all together. Only one survives today and it is Sonny Rollins. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
58 Jazz Musicians Were Photographed for ‘Harlem 1958.' Only One Remains.
Art Kane’s “Harlem 1958” gathered giants of the music. Sonny Rollins, 94, looks back at the historic picture.

Just moved over from the nasty old place. Hoping to get back in the habit of posting about jazz here. Where my people at? Is there a Jazz People starter pack? #jazz www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAa4...
