Let's make this birthday one to remember.

91 years old (Born on July 01, 1933)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Robert Patterson, better known as Rashied Ali—the jazz drummer who didn't just keep time, he reinvented it! Your beats alongside John Coltrane weren't just rhythms; they were cosmic conversations that still echo through jazz history. Rumor has it even metronomes envy your impeccable timing.

From groundbreaking performances on "Interstellar Space" to inspiring generations of drummers with your fearless improvisation, you've proven that age is merely a number—much like those tricky 7/8 rhythms you effortlessly mastered. Here's wishing you another year filled with syncopated joy and endless applause. Keep swinging beyond boundaries—we're all listening!
