🙏🏽❤️ 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.

🇿🇦☀️ HAPPY SUNDAY!
I wrote this in college — a special throwback from my past history, a wonderful surprise: “For A Reason” is popular in South Africa! We added it to our @JoyOfJazz set — the room overflowed with love & Spirit. 🙏🏽✨ 🧡🤎💚❤️

We’ve lost a true pillar of StL jazz — Roscoe Crenshaw. Alongside Richard Henderson, he inspired so many of us young musicians. From Fish Fries at my mom’s house to 📸 capturing moments from our wedding to the stage, Roscoe’s humor, friendship, & love will be deeply missed.❤️
