Let's make this birthday one to remember.

92 years old (Born on November 10, 1932)

Happy birthday to the legendary Paul Bley—master of musical mischief and melodic genius! It's hard not to marvel at how you turned silence into jazz's best instrument, giving spaces between notes as much groove as the music itself. Your mastery throughout the swinging sixties showed us that free-jazz means freedom indeed: freedom from clichés, chords—and occasionally even rhythm!

As timeless as your memorable trio performances are, your innovative voicings keep inspiring new generations. Every pianist diving headlong into space, every musician bravely embracing silence is following in footsteps only you could leave behind.

Here's celebrating another year ahead with boundless creativity!
