          Russell Contreras Retweeted Gregory Jones

          Of course, my all-time favorite woke jazz album around civil rights is We Insist! by Max Roach. Every time I listen, I'm filled with rage. When I listen to Billie Holiday's ‘Strange Fruit’ I'm filled with sadnesshttps://twitter.com/gregjonesjazz/status/1267951381522063362?s=20 …

          Russell Contreras Retweeted All Jazz Radio

          Then there's Bitches Brew by Miles Davis. Took me a while to appreciate it but in the context of the times it was made (and the times we live in today), I understand it now.https://twitter.com/All_Jazz_Radio/status/1268554464509792258?s=20 …

          And I will always love me some Nancy Wilson just because. All class, all cause. #RIPhttps://twitter.com/bluenoterecords/status/1073613051528650752?s=20 …

          RIP #NancyWilson, the wonderful singer & civil rights activist whose supple voice & graceful sense of swing bridged Jazz & Pop on many @CapitolRecords thru the 1960-70s. We're putting on the classic "Nancy Wilson & Cannonball Adderley" in her honor today: https://bluenote.lnk.to/NancyWilson-CannonballAdderley … pic.twitter.com/vx8NSaUyb3
