Three legendaries of jazz were born today, August 7th!
Celebrating the births of three remarkable jazz figures who shaped the sound of music:
• Rahsaan Roland Kirk — The multi-instrumental visionary known for playing multiple horns at once and blending soul jazz, hard bop, and avant-garde.
• Idrees Sulieman — The essential bebop and hard bop trumpeter who recorded on Thelonious Monk's landmark first Blue Note session.
• George Van Eps — The pioneer of the 7-string jazz guitar and master of "lap piano" technique.
