Huzzah to Mark Stryker and the entire Best of the Best: #JazzfromDetroit team. Tonight's @freepfilmfestival world premiere was a beautiful tribute not only to jazz but also to the persistance of a city that nurtured some of its' finest creators.
🧵 Happy Birthday, Herbie! Maestro Herbie Hancock turns 84 today. Saw him in Detroit 2 weeks ago and he was as brilliantly spontaneous as ever. As great a soloist & composer as Herbie is, never forget that he's also one of the best accompanists in jazz history. Some favorites:
Mark Stryker Herbie Hancock It’s high time for wide cultural recognition of Herbie’s huge contribution to American music. Maybe the Gershwin prize for starters. Jazz, pop, funk, film music and everything else that he touches…no one else operates on this level of genius. Happy Birthday Herbie Hancock
A great shot of yours truly and MC Solaar. I met him through my son Myles, who lived in Paris for a while. We ended up doing 'Un Ange En Danger' together. Listen to it here! youtu.be/ZSBY13Cwwxs #planetelegance #roncarter #jazz
