SUMMER JAM!
HEAVENLY BREEZE
Here’s yet another incredible track from Heavenly Beat (Beach Fossils’ bassist John Peña) called “Messiah”. Tropical, sun-drenched disco-pop seem like adequate descriptors for this absolutely delightful and blissful piece. Those breezy vocals couldn’t be more captivating with summer on its way and this track has got you covered for your ‘laze-in-the-sun’ playlist. Grab it down below and find this track on his upcoming debut full-length Talent set to drop July 24th via Captured Tracks.

Dizzy Gillespie’s B-flat Trumpet, 1972
This week’s Smithsonian Snapshot celebrates Jazz Appreciation Month with American jazz legend John Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie’s trumpet.In the 1940s, Gillespie, renowned for his harmonic complexity and scat singing, became a major figure in developing the modern jazz style known as bebop. Gillespie pushed the technical virtuosity of the trumpet, wrote influential compositions, helped introduce Afro-Cuban rhythms into jazz and through his showmanship helped spread the popularity of bebop.In 1986, Gillespie donated this custom “Silver Flair” trumpet, which he played for 10 years, and its custom case to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Its uniquely shaped upturned bell was his internationally known trademark.Gillespie’s trumpet is one of the most iconic instruments in American music; its inclusion in the Smithsonian marks him as one of the most influential and innovative 20th-century American musicians.To learn more about the importance of jazz in culture, technology, gender and race, visit the Smithsonian’s Jazz Appreciation Month 2012 website.
