Gm – Daily post about underrated /jazz players. Today, Kenny Dorham, trumpeter from Fairfield, TX. He played in Parker's Quintet and Gillespie big band and was part of the Jazz Messengers. Dorham is another case where premature death didn't allow his career to grow big. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ic2cVXPcN0

🧵 What are your favorite underrated jazz musicians? Mine of all times is Phineas Newborn Jr. One wonders how someone who could equal Peterson's talent could be so forgotten. Also, I love this album cover:

Altered Gravity Lunch, April 2022. I am obsessed with gravity and how it governs the perception of space-time according to general relativity. iPhones change time perception when using them which is why they've overcome gravity on my GIF work.

Now do as many reps as you can until almost failure. It doesn’t matter if it’s 10 or 3. Break 15 sec. Keep reading👇

Thought I would never find a community about this. Why do some people find burps worse than farts despite these don't smell as bad?

I had an inspiring jazz night among friends not too long ago. I wanted to capture the moment of how the mess on the table evokes the joy people had when the sky was still dark.
