One more birthday shoutout to #OlivierMessiaen, not just a fantastic composer but a spectacular organist, up there with #SunRa & #FatsWaller. Imagine happening by L'Eglise du Sainte Trinite in Paris where he was organist for decades, and hearing THIS! https://t.co/FWQlFNQPgX

Birthday shoutout to the great French composer #OlivierMessiaen. Beautifully mysterious music for dancing waters & fireworks at the 1937 Paris Exhibition, for sextet of Ondes Martenot, an early synth that was sort of a theremin harnessed to a keyboard... https://t.co/G6nCCKtmd7

If #SunRa was a birdsong-besotted French Catholic mystic synaesthetic, he'd be #OlivierMessiaen, born this day. Here at his most ecstatically, epically cosmic (especially movement 5 at 31:15, "Joy of the Stars' Blood"), conducted by one of his students https://t.co/tFeANShR1h

Happy birthday genius maestro #OlivierMessiaen, who heard colors, symphonized birdcalls, and composed this in a Nazi POW camp for the instruments at hand. Is it gilding the lily to describe a piece called "Quartet for the End of Time" as "timeless"? https://t.co/1BluNaBhmd

28 years after recording his iconic "Take the 'A' Train" trumpet solo, #RayNance gave that immortal melody this heart-stopping treatment on his other instrument, for his delightful "Body & Soul"LP. Reportedly as played at composer Billy Strayhorn's funeral https://t.co/zqE6GnhHcY

Birthday shoutout to trumpet/violin great #RayNance, first in a jaw-dropping parade of jazz greats cutting loose in this 1942 short, filmed a year after Ray laid down his iconic "Take the 'A' Train" trumpet solo. Jazz Valhalla? Right downstairs! https://t.co/rN8CfXmVdZ

Happy birthday trumpet/violin great #RayNance who delivered the note-perfect trumpet solo on the 1941 classic that would become #DukeEllington's theme song... https://t.co/cWs9cbf2xz

One more birthday shoutout to #DanHicks, droll as hell but also a supreme Poet Of Melancholy: "Canned Music," "Moody Richard," "Woe the Luck" & of course this sublime all-time classic featuring #SidPage & one the greatest violin solos ever: https://t.co/AlEZ0VFF1s

Happy birthday #DanHicks: ex-hippie (viz Charatans) stuck in delightful 1940s Django-Andrews Sisters timewarp, creates one of the snazziest outfits ever & gifts us music about which you can most definitely say: it ain't canned...

One last birthday shoutout to the great Finnish composer #JeanSibelous -- from Canterbury prog-rock. @HillageSteve brings the "Swinging Hammer" down from the Symphony 5 Finale with the late great #KevinAyers at 4:56: https://t.co/FDJnnJeUuB

Birthday salute to one of my favorite classical composers, #JeanSibelius. One of his greatest moments: from the glorious unfolding of the "swinging hammer" melody at 1:25 to that "what the Helsinki?" stop-time Finnish, what a singular sensation! https://t.co/7XdiR4qUap

Another birthday shoutout to the great #JeanSibelius. I've never heard another conductor get quite the same erotic throb in the basses as Rozhdestvensky did in the aching midsection, at 2:37... https://t.co/7a0fzn7uwe

Happy birthday #JeanSibelius, the day after Finnish Independence Day no less! A fellow Finn leads my fave of his resplendently quirky symphonies: the will o' the wisp 2nd & 4th movements glowing through the looming, craggy, mist-shrouded 1st & 3rd... https://t.co/78qJKghZRD

One last day-late birthday shoutout to #Jaco. Maybe the most mindblowing display of the singular bass guitar style and technique that made him a one-name icon... https://t.co/QS9Vt2BMPY

Another day-late birthday shoutout to the late great one & only #Jaco (do we need the 2nd name, really?). One of his most iconic virtuoso funk-jazz bass lines ("Come On Come Over" too) w/a crack band... https://t.co/T0Gnu84y7Q

Day-late birthday wish to late-great tragic genius of bass guitar #JacoPastorius. Never a player or character quite like him. Yes that's him on BASS at 0:18 with the high-harmonics that introduced him to a stunned world... https://t.co/Wn5iO5p7BE

Day-late birthday shoutout to late great alto saxophinist #JimmyLyons, best-known as constant foil in #CecilTaylor's units. He & #MarshallAllen the best of post-Bird/avant-garde altoists. Giving him his due as leader w/this underrated loft-jazz classic: https://t.co/aT0uQ9oEYg

Happy birthday #ViolaSmith, legendary female big band jazz drummer. Renowned for her hand speed, billed as "the female Gene Krupa" though I'd call her Chick Webb, nyuk nyuk nyuk -- but I mean that as a compliment. She lived to 107. ReSPECT! https://t.co/2cvei7mi8a

Happy birthday #ClareTorry and thank you for one of the most shiver-inducing wordless-vocal orgasms in music history, and certainly the most incredible one in rock history. And on the first take 🩷💯 https://t.co/wzvpYqBKtG
