Milford Graves: Sounding the Universe

[@benevolentsun]

This video made me quit my music career and drop out of jazz school. I was in it for the wrong reasons, and I am beyond grateful that Milford made me realize it. 0:40

Rest in peace, Milford Graves. Your music is so powerful and has impacted so many of us on such a deep level. You will live on in our music forever.

Damn, i just watched the documentary Full Matis about him. I had no idea of his passing until seeing your post. I was just going on dive into his teachings. Rest in Power brother Graves

[@OwenSchaffer]

I miss being in Professor Graves's classes at Bennington. Great storyteller. Learned a lot.

[@enkibumbu]

Yup. Was there.

People like Mr. Graves are so inspiring. Curious, passionate, driven, creative. I'm glad he lived a full life, but sad he's not part of our world anymore.

[@jeffburdick]

a fine human being, dedicated to raising our levels of existence, moments of his tutelage are precious indeed

On the last day of "Tonal Rhythmology and Percussion" 2010 the man called me his "Brother". He is more of a genius than I can reason with. His mind works swifter than he can speak (articulate) and that level of mental elevation is noticeable after 3 minutes beside him. His course was one of the greatest privileges I have ever had in a classroom of peers. - For Your Wisdom And Tremendous Character, Sir.. Thank You.

“We’re here to make the eardrum vibrate”.. Perfect.

[@TomTeasley]

A true maestro. In music and in life!

[@vibist]

I am amazed at what Milford Graves does with two sticks in one hand. Playing time with one stick and accents with the other. Incredible!

[@jasoncorley5703]

The TECHNIQUE alone tells the story.

[@ffrisby]

One of the only things I remember from any Bennington class is Milford talking about eating too much miso. RIP

[@AMOKIAN]

Rip Mr. Graves. The Exhibit at the ICA LA is awesome. (Feb 2023)

[@Spascious]

Loved these quotes so much I made a song with some of the audio. Who do I need to talk to in order to get clearance to release the track?

[@cliftoncameron5632]
