“I know a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they're absolutely the most miserable people in the world. So it won't do anything for you unless you're a happy person and can have peace with yourself." Happy Belated Birthday (May 26, 1964) Lenny Kravitz #letloverule
MILES of MILES. I think I may have sketched, drawn and painted Miles Davis more than any other single human being on the planet (these are just a few). I find his musicality, face, persona and spirit just endlessly fascinating and inspiring. Happy Miles Davis Day, everyone.

"If you played a Ron Miles song right, in the best of moods you'd be crying, because the songs were full. A lot of music we play doesn't have that, it just doesn't." - Jason Moran
Happy Birthday to late jazz trumpeter, cornetist, and composer Ron Miles.
“Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can play weird; that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.” Happy 100th Birthday, CHARLES MINGUS
“I've got to where I am in life not because of something I brought to the world but through something I found - the wealth of African culture.” Happy Birthday, HUGH MASKELA. When I hear Masekela’s soaring solos, this is what I see. @hughmaskela @iamtheleopard @painted.words
“If you take the creation of music and the creation of your own life values as your overall goal, then living becomes a musical process.”
Happy Birthday, CECIL TAYLOR
