Ah, December 8th—this date heralds the birth of the one and only James Oscar Smith, born in 1928, a man who took the Hammond B-3 organ and made it shout, cry, and testify to the heavens. Today, at Grateful Web, we bow our heads and raise our hands to the legacy of Jimmy Smith—a musician whose soul-laden grooves connected the dots between jazz and the electric charge of 1960s soul, forever altering the musical landscape.

In the shadowy realms where stories are sung in smoky whispers and dreams are tangled in the strands of a poet's hair, we gather today to honor a troubadour of the absurd and the profound—Tom Waits, 75 years young and still casting long shadows across the cobblestones of Americana. From the gutters to the heavens, his voice, a feral growl soaked in whiskey and wildfires, has charted the cartography of the human soul.

Not long ago, Sierra Ferrell could be found busking on the vibrant Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado, serenading passersby with her unmistakable voice and spellbinding charm.

Today, December 6th, we at Grateful Web raise a glass and a chorus of gratitude for the birth of Dave Brubeck—one of jazz’s greatest pioneers and an indelible architect of modern music. His piano keys unlocked doors to a world of rhythm, harmony, and soul that continue to ripple through generations. Among his masterpieces, Live at Carnegie Hall shines as a crown jewel, standing proudly not just in jazz but in the pantheon of live recordings across all genres.

Today, on December 5th, 2024, we at Grateful Web celebrate the birthday of the legendary JJ Cale.
