Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on November 28, 1951)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Dennis Irwin, whose bass lines have graced over five hundred records—proving once and for all that jazz isn't just music; it's a marathon! Your fingers must've clocked more miles than most cars. From swinging with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers to grooving alongside John Scofield, your rhythm has always been timelessly cool.

Dennis, you've given us countless unforgettable moments on stage and in studio sessions alike. Each note you play is like fine wine—it only gets better as time goes by (and thankfully doesn't leave stains). Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, joy—and plenty of standing ovations!
