🙏🏽🕊️😔 Prayers and love go out to the family and friends of D’Angelo. I could go on and on about how this brother’s gift has had such a profound impact and influence on us. We can all remember the feeling we felt when we first heard his sound. 🤯 Thank you for the inspiration! You are missed. 💛

🙏🏽❤️ We lost a legend, Mr. Jack DeJohnette. His work with Keith Jarrett’s Standards in Norway taught me about musical conversation and inner play. A true innovator and inspiration to the drum and jazz community. His legacy will live on. #JackDeJohnette #Legend #GOAT #Innovator
