We celebrate his legacy and all that he sacrificed to bring beauty, intelligence, and artistic integrity to planet earth. &ldquo;Woody Shaw was a true visionary. The world suffers from a lack of true visionaries. I was blessed and privileged that Woody saw something in this meager talent of mine to allow me to be in his band for a few years. That experience helped mold me into what I am today. I&rsquo;ve had very vivid dreams of him. Indeed it was my good fortune to be in his presence. I&rsquo;m so grateful!&rdquo; &mdash;Mulgrew Miller &quot;He was truly one of the greatest.&quot; &mdash;Max Roach &nbsp; &quot;Woody Shaw is one of the voices of the future... Not of the future, of the present.&quot; &mdash;Dizzy Gillespie &quot;In the back of my mind, I am always thinking of Woody Shaw.&quot; &mdash;Kenny Garrett &quot;Now there's a great trumpet player...He can play different from all of them.&quot;&nbsp; &mdash;Miles Davis &quot;Woods covers the whole spectrum.&quot; &mdash;Dexter Gordon Thanks to Woody Shaw III for sharing this remembrance with us today.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise


Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to be free


Blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night


Blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night


Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

— J.R.R. Tolkien
