The stakes of this election could not be higher. For the past year, I’ve been making videos highlighting things you should know. If you’re undecided, or know someone who is undecided, please take a look at these videos. 🧵

From 50:30 in, ⁦@CharlesLloydSax⁩ talks so beautifully about Lady Day, Prez, Bird and Trane that he reminded me of why I fell in love with this music in the first place. (Howlin’ Wolf & JS Bach, too.) Thank you, J to Z. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001t2…
