This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

I am trying to recall my reactions when I first heard this Shepp many years ago. Right now it is a lovely groove.

"...you must listen to me on my own terms. I will not let you misconstrue me. That era is over. If my music doesn't suffice, I will write you a poem, a play. I will say to you in every instance: "Strike the ghetto. Let my people go!"
later on:
"I play about the death of me by you"

Regarding the crazy rhythm, the drummers:
Norman Connors: drums
Beaver Harris: drums
Frank Charles: talking drum
Dennis Charles: percussion
Ed Blackwell: rhythm logs
Actually years ago I wondered why he didn't have African drummers playing the "logs" but listening now, it all gels for me.

...i have a talking drum. it's very hard to play well -at least ju ju style (as in actual ju ju music ie King Sunny Ade) because you must hold it and squeeze it with your body and 1 arm, and play it with only the other hand with an awkward L-shaped mallet.

I've got a cheapo talking drum. Haven't gotten around to fixing a slack cord on it, so I could be saying ALL the WRONG things on it.

...listening to the runs in Ade or Obey (etc) recordings it's a slow roll for 2 hands, how most drummers would accomplish such a thing; but challenging for one handed!
if i couldn't do it when i bought the drum i sure can't do it now!

When a critic didn't like the ballet Parade, a collaboration between Satie, Cocteau, Picasso and Ballet Russe, the composer sends him a little note: "Sir and dear friend – you are an arse, an arse without music! Signed, Erik Satie"
Critic sued; Cocteau gets beaten up by cops for yelling "arse" in the courtroom.

My Mama eats almost only white foods -- just don't care for the veg. Nary a green in sight. Her Thanksgiving plate reliably holds only white and tan. And though she's lost almost all her sight -- maybe cuz no greens -- she'll be 95 next month.

Ritter wasn't bad at what he was asked to do in dismal bits of television, but, yes, that mode is exactly what I'm talkin' about.
