Pioneer of free jazz alongside Ornette Coleman. One of Graham’s favourites. Please donate if you can. He has lost everything, instruments all all, in the #lafires. These personal histories and cultural archives lost forever cannot be replaced. But we can help rebuild x

On September 18, 1972, 50 years ago to the day, I left my 1-year-old daughter home with the piano student I had been giving a first lesson to after a call to be at RCA studios to audition for a rock singer I hadn't heard of. My life would change within an hour... 1/
Incredible to be just a small part of this wonderful new #roxymusic book, written & photographed by my dear friend Jocelyn Fiske, featuring her original tour photos - 50 years in the making! Roxy Live: Underexposed is a truly a coffee table dream. Every dream home needs a copy…
Little Richard was one of the original rock 'n' rollers-- He was THE ORIGINAL GLAM ROCKER, and he took a lot of abuse for being in the first wave. He forged a path for all of us who followed.
