Curtis Fuller, a Powerful Voice on Jazz Trombone, Dies at 88

Once Overlooked, Black Abstract Painters Are Finally Given Their Due – The New York Times

Learn to understand existence as being political.
Avoid art-world strategies.
Erase all known isms.
Don’t succumb to populist aesthetics.
Remove the notion of me.
Eliminate that which qualifies as a narrative.
Learn to live by the philosophy of jazz.
Only fools want to be famous (avoid at all cost).
Remain true to myself.
— Jack Whitten
