Happy Birthday to the incredible Albert Dailey! A jazz maestro whose collaborations read like a who's who of musical legends—Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, Art Blakey—you've tickled ivories alongside giants. Yet somehow you managed to stay jazz's best-kept secret; perhaps your genius was just too smooth for mainstream ears!Though underrated in life, your timeless melodies continue resonating today. Each note reminds us that true talent doesn't always shout—it swings quietly and brilliantly from behind the scenes. So here's celebrating you: forever cool, eternally classy—and finally getting some overdue applause on this special day!
