What do you do when you're only 18 years old and the club won’t let you in with your trumpet? Play through the window! Raphael Zimmerman got a little creative with a Sunday night jam session in New Orleans. Thank you to Ryan Hanseler for sharing this video with us!

I don’t know anyone involved w/this and wasn’t a fan b4, but the @MIAuniverse doc @MIAdocumentary is one of the best music docs I’ve seen this decade. Do not sleep on this film. It’s an inspirational story about finding your voice and using it. It’s pop, kinetic, & illuminating. – at Santa Monica, CA

Businesses that make money by collecting and selling detailed records of private lives were once plainly described as "surveillance companies." Their rebranding as "social media" is the most successful deception since the Department of War became the Department of Defense.
