I immediately clocked Public Enemy’s sample of the Jackson 5’ s Walk On from their live Going Back to Indiana album. I listened to that album so much as a little girl, I instantly recognized the girls scream. youtu.be/zrFOb_f7ubw

Get the weekend started tonight

Always loved Minnie. Born Lizzie Douglas in Algiers, LA Killer futuristic Blues guitarist. There’s no film of her playing, only a brilliant piece Langston Hughes wrote about seeing her. Some of her later sides were really rocking. Was honored to play her birthday tribute in Memphis w/Zeke Johnson

Happy birthday to Curtis Mayfield, born on this day in 1942!

Really good, substantial obituary of Sonny Rollins in the Guardian, with lots of fantastic quotes. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

And now they are all gone. RIP Sonny Rollins.

“Playing against the sky really does improve your volume, and your wind capacity.  I could have just stayed up there forever.” Sonny Rollins (September 9, 1930 - May 25, 2026) 📸 Atsuhiko Kawabata, 1961

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

Happy Birthday Phillip Bailey! I always hoped he got the rest of the week off after he recorded this vocal! youtu.be/6bMC5lGLlAA

I love history.... that's why it's so wild to me seeing the worst parts of it getting repeated.

I’ve always been inspired by Carlos’ playing. The ease with which he moved between styles, tones and rhythms. The joy…Happy Birthday indeed!🎸🎸🎸

Bringing this tune back… youtu.be/6SdDZyfrTuc

Rock it up in Ripley

Crazy that I spent last weekend at the home of Medgar Evers then saw a Bob Dylan concert and woke up today with no voting rights and the Governor and his sidekicks absolutely giddy about quickly disenfranchising Black citizens. It’s like Back to the Future. youtu.be/LJ25-U3jNWM

Love this. youtu.be/ZE2oYYRM8eo

Indeed…HBD to the great Willie Nelson 🎸. youtu.be/x8A9Y1Dq_cQ

Sad day thinking about our elders hard won rights… Remembering the genius of Duke Ellington on his birthday and the genius of Ella Fitzgerald. Such brilliance, yet the struggle continues . They can’t steal my joy. Crank it up! youtu.be/WyFBPyyV-Qw

Nedra Talley Ross the last member of the Ronettes has gone to the angels. At heaven's gate this morning you can hear that big New Jersey drum beat boom-bah-boom-bah to welcome her in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2MK...

Hey Mississippi
