Sometimes I think about Miles Davis and how he used to go into sessions with an idea how he wanted everyone to play. Obviously there was a lot of room for improvisation too.

Phenomenal :)

The other day I heard two musicians discussing strings on their instruments. :)

It was amazing to experience such :)

I was so stoked about getting this. #blackcomposers were 100% absent from my musical education until I started educating myself and I feel like I just bought a new textbook:)

Spans from the 1700s to 1970s (when the series was originally released). William Grant Still is blowing my mind right now. I can’t believe this thing was under $30. The mastering is extraordinary too. My stereo is pretty terrible and it sounds more dynamic than I previously believed it capable. Recommend TF out of.
