61 years ago today, John Coltrane recorded his ultimate masterpiece "A Love Supreme"

Recorded in only one day (yes, you read that right), it intertwines his musical genius with his spiritual awakening…

But how did this album came into existence?

A thread🧵 Image
The album opens with a simple four-note bass line, evolving into a 33-minute journey of rich improvisation, symbolizing Coltrane's own path from struggle to enlightenment. Image
McCoy Tyner, the pianist, recalls the session with dimmed lights, mimicking the intimacy of a live club, where the quartet honed their unspoken musical dialogue. Image

89 years ago today, the legendary Robert Johnson held his first recording session…

... in the quaint setup of Room 414 at the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, Texas, Johnson laid down tracks that would later define the blues genre...

A thread 🧵 Image
Johnson recorded a total of 59 performances across three days in November 1936 in San Antonio, and later in June 1937 in Dallas.

These sessions produced what we now cherish as the core of his musical legacy. Image
Out of these sessions, 25 songs were initially selected for release by Vocalion Records on 12-sided 78 rpm records from 1937 to 1939.

Over the years, 17 more tracks, including alternate takes, surfaced, enriching his catalog. Image

On this day in 1969, Miles Davis started recording "Bitches Brew"

This wasn't just an album; it was a revolution. Jazz went electric, and the world hasn't been the same since...

A thread🧵 Image
Miles brought together a stellar ensemble: Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, and more.

The sessions were loose, experimental, and raw—Miles gave minimal direction, letting the musicians’ creativity run wild. Image
The result? A double album that defied convention.

Tracks like "Pharaoh’s Dance" and "Bitches Brew" were sprawling, hypnotic, and unlike anything jazz fans had heard before.

It was bold, chaotic, and utterly mesmerizing Image

Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life isn’t just an album—it’s a miracle…

It’s the kind of project that defies logic, time, and human limitation…

Here’s why:

🧵 Image
Stevie almost quit music entirely before making it. He was seriously considering moving to Ghana and leaving the industry behind.
He survived a near-fatal car accident just two years before the album dropped. He was in a coma for 10 days.
