The great McCoy Tyner, born today in 1938.

“I play what I live,” he said. “My music is a reflection of the life I’ve lived so far, and of the people I’ve been blessed to be around. Everything that happens to you, everything you see, it all goes into the music somehow.”

“Impressions” #RIP 🙏🏼

It’s the 62nd anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright, a case in which SCOTUS ruled that states must provide legal counsel to indigent defendants.

To all public defenders: Thank you for your important, grueling, and often thankless work to protect the rights of the accused.
