A tribute to John Coltrane: I combined family footage and performance clips into a music video for one of my favorite songs of his, “Equinox”. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.

It appears you can never go wrong with Charles Simic. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, the way this poem turns.

On Monday, we lost Sonny Rollins, one of the greatest saxophonists who ever lived. Watch the clip from JAZZ.
rmcfarlane63 retweeted
Rest easy, Sonny Rollins 🕊️ The Saxophone Colossus. One of the most important voices in the history of jazz. From his early days alongside Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, and Miles Davis to a career spanning seven decades and over sixty albums.
rmcfarlane63 retweeted
Rest in peace, Sonny Rollins… Nicknamed the “Saxophone Colossus,” he reshaped modern jazz with fearless improvisation, a towering tenor tone, and timeless classics like Saxophone Colossus and The Bridge. One of the last great bebop giants, his sound and spirit changed jazz forever.

Tonight calls for nothing but your favorite Miles Davis records. Happy 100th birthday to a legend.
