Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on April 02, 1938)

Happy birthday to the legendary Booker Little! Your trumpet playing was so brilliant, even Miles Davis probably took notes. You blew through jazz history faster than most musicians tune their instruments, leaving us all amazed and slightly jealous of your talent.

Though you left us far too soon, your timeless recordings like "Out Front" and collaborations with Eric Dolphy continue to inspire generations. Today we celebrate not just your incredible music but also how effortlessly cool you made being a jazz genius look—something we're still trying (and failing) to replicate. Here's hoping heaven has good acoustics; keep swinging up there!
