Remembering Al Grey who was born on this day in 1925. Unfortunately, the renowned trombonist died in 2000, shortly before the frist sailing of The Jazz Cruise in 2001, so he never appeared on our cruise.

On June 6, 1944, the Allies during World War II brought together land, air, and sea forces landing on the shores of Normandy and able to invade N**i held Europe. Meanwhile, in Kingston, Jamaica on June 6, 1944, Montgomery Bernard "Monty" Alexander was born. 🥰

Happy Birthday today to our friend Dee Dee Bridgewater, who seems to get younger with every passing year.

Happy Birthday, Miles Davis, the iconic trumpeter, composer and bandleader who influenced so many of the artists who perform on The Jazz Cruise.

Happy birthday, Miles Davis!

One of the most titanic presences and influences in all of jazz's history, Miles Davis literally rewrote the playbook for this music time and again, leading generations of artists into incredible new territories. Cutting his teeth in Swing Era big bands before landing a coveted spot performing with Charlie Parker, Davis would ultimately master the BeBop idiom even as he simultaneously (in collaboration with figures like Gil Evans, John Lewis, Gerry Mulligan, and more) helped coax the rise of cool jazz during the late 1940s and early 1950s. From there, Miles continued to grow and innovate: his iconic 1954 album Walkin' helped herald the arrival of the Hard Bop style, perfected through his efforts with what we now call his First Great Quintet, later 1950s works like Miles Ahead and Sketches of Spain were watersheds in the burgeoning Third Stream movement in the music, while Milestones and Kind of Blue demonstrated the incredible expressive beauty in Jazz's embrace of modes. As the 1960s unveiled, Miles formed yet another iconic quintet, and with them stretched jazz into some of its most creative and extraordinary spaces through albums like Nefertiti and The Sorcerer. While many jazz artists would have rested on their well-deserved laurels, Miles did not, and his late 1960s Fusion efforts In a Silent Way and Bi***es Brew proved profoundly influential, exploring rock instrumentation while also innovating in abstract textures and free improvisation. 1970s fusion works found Miles embracing intense dance grooves, with now-classic efforts like On the Corner or Agharta. While the late 1970s saw him step away from music, his return in the 1980s with iconic and award-winning albums like Tutu and Star People saw him embracing some of the latest sounds and developments in popular music of the day. Leaving behind an unmatched record of experimentation and innovation, Miles also left us in the hands of generation upon generation of artists who grew up under his mentorship and influence.
