Bluesday, May 15: Coltrane

12 minutes til it's not Bluesday anymore

Moody AF

listen to this


10 seconds til the end

he really meant it man

imagine having that kinda ear

well i mean many people do, i envy them

envy? praise, maybe


so swaggy

he's the King of Swag

i am a peasant worshipping at his feet

at this point he'd already gone deep into his shit

man i seriously think if he stayed alive just a biiiiit longer

he wouldda had a real, real impact on how music is heard

like he would rival any fucking white dude in europe

he'd win

maybe it's just because we have more access to their brains

their brilliance

but this is like, the prologue

the prepared epitaph 

and then poof, just like that,

he's gone.


i'm very appreciative of the fact that his legend lives on.

i mean when you think about the jazz greats

like the real OG jazz greats, like

when you feel it real deep in there

into your soul

he's on a lover's like top 5, at least

the way that he can maneuver, kinda like

like a warm dry 

previously damp spring-

summer night, weaving through the

traffic

left and right and up and down

no holes in that pocket


all the great ones die too soon.

perhaps it's a chunk of why they're great.

but longevity is something you cannot fake.
