"All things come through grace, there's nothing you can do about it. And when you realise that whatever comes to you comes through grace, then you become tolerant. When we do not understand grace, that is the reason we become intolerant."
Abdullah Ibrahim
9 October 1934 - 15 June 2026

Jazz OTD: I've seen different listings for the date of the session that produced this remarkable early performance by the great Carmen McRae, with none other than Billy Strayhorn at the piano, as either June 14, 1955 or June 14, 1956. Either way, seems fitting to post it today. #jazzsy

Jazz OTD: Houston Person's late career albums with HighNote records were often textured, elegant interpretations of standards, making the nimble, sensitive pianist Bill Charlap a perfect colleague. They recorded their album "You Taught My Heart to Sing" on June 15, 2006. #jazzsky

Heaven got another Jazz Angel today, as Pianist Adolph Johannes Brand, aka Dollar Brand, aka Abdullah Ibrahim passed away. Native son of Cape Town, South Africa, Ibrahim escaped the segregation of South Africa, and was heard by Duke Ellington in 1962 in Zürich.
