Let's make this birthday one to remember.

91 years old (Born on July 01, 1933)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Rashied Ali! May your rhythms always be as unpredictable and exciting as your groundbreaking performances with Phalanx. Your fearless beats have kept jazz fans guessing, musicians inspired, and drumsticks trembling in awe.

From pioneering free jazz sessions to avant-garde collaborations that defy convention, you've consistently reminded us all that music is best when it breaks rules—and occasionally a cymbal or two. Here's hoping this birthday brings you laughter louder than your boldest solos and joy more enduring than those timeless grooves you've gifted us over the years. Keep swinging wildly—you're truly unmatched!
