Putting this out there just to show that the ideas of the Thmei Research writings did not occur in a vacuum, nor did they disappear into one. There's definitely been a strain of thought that presents, accepts, and actions on "non-traditional narratives" about the various mainstream narratives about the origins of civilization and all that comes from that. Was anybody paying attention to the Massachusetts police standoff with "The Rise Of The Moors" group? Initial reports had me thinking that that was an...interesting name for a sovereign citizens movement, I wonder if... and sure enough (although this part is not turning up in too many reports): Massachusetts I-95 standoff: What is Rise of Moor, Moorish sovereign (usatoday.com) "Different factions and leaders cobble together bits and pieces from a variety of sources and craft their own legal theories," MacNab wrote on Twitter, saying they rely on beliefs from "Moorish Science Temple, Black Hebrew Israelism, Nation of Islam, UFO theories, phony Native American tribes, and the pseudo-legal arguments crafted by white supremacist 'patriot' groups in the 1970s." On its website, Rise of the Moors says, "Moor does not mean Black. The noun ‘Moor’ is a shortened variant of the word Moroccan." The group also says the term Black was used by Europeans to "strip us of our illustrious history." The group also denies being sovereign citizens on its website but says the records "show that the Moors are the organic or original sovereigns of this land – America." MacNab said some believe Moors were the first settlers of the U.S. Some also believe Morocco and the United States signed a treaty shortly after the American Revolution that exempts Moorish people from the law. The Moorish Science Temple of America, a religious sect, dates back to the 1913.

I pondered on Golia, but this item has a feel of overdubbing or....something. Almost like a Yesterday's New Quintet thing only more literal, if that makes any sense.

Jerry Goodman had at least been in a sort-of rock band (with a Columbia deal, no less!!!) so he already knew what the deal could be...

P a u l A u s t e r l i t z?

That must be the one that goes on forever (the title)? There's another one credited to "J.R. Jones"...that's Philly, right??

Indeed!

This guy? otherwise...Sclavis? Portal?

Warts and all!

Some props to Mtume for his conga playing on that ballad, btw.

I'm not Mark, and I hope there's more than this, but this one came out a while ago (1999): https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Found-Breaking-Through-1963-1964/dp/B00001QGTR

Y sigo mas... Doing a little bit of Googlating, it looks like "Vamos Nessa" translates out of Portuguese as roughly 'let's go in this thing" or, let's groove. Colloquialism. "Go" not meaning "leave'. Oye como va!

Spanish is a real language, with grammar and shit. It's not just fodder from American slang.

Doing rough headmath, I'd say that TT = 70 mins, about. Carmel is on the first 24 minutes and sounds wonderful, both in solo and as a frontline partner with Land. Joe Lovano comments that this sounds like a rehearsed unit, and I concur. Them slickass heads are together! Liner notes are a little weak, though. Zevvers who really should learn to tone down the ego and place his self-congratulatory Producer's Notes for the end, not at the top. Same with Weeds, who's a little less transparently full of himself. Really not a lot to be learned in any of these notes, but I guess what else is there to say at this point, other than CHECK OUT HAROLD LAND!!!!

Vamos = we are going, like "vamos a casa" = we are going home/to the house

Cracking open the CD today. My kind of bop, spoken in a native tongue, with the natural bob-y/weave-y accenting that comes with that. Easy to hear the meaning, especially when spoken by such a personal voice as Land's.

RIP indeed. It was interesting to find out just how much of a "straight ahead" player he had been before Mahavishnu, not at all one of the chomping-at-the-bit type who were compelled to push the barriers and add the rock electric. But there he was, and there he did. and then there he wasn't. I went on a mini-OG MAhavishnu binge last year, too just a few days (those records weren't very long, so total-immersion in all 4 (yes, counting Trident) was not difficult, and yes, they were more or less all the same record when you get down to it, but, still, powerful and certainly paradigm-changing music. And there Rick Laird was, holding it down like a rock (no pun intended). I still wonder...here he was, walking the upright and all of a sudden, 17/8 and shit, loud music and loud egos...how many times did he ask himself how the hell did I get here?

Miska Minke - The Snow Falls In Winter Achingly beautiful songs of longing.

Rain Pryor Misty Morgan Stormy Daniels

who can we identify in this band? I can see Jimmy Cleveland, Anthony Ortega(?), Jerome Richardson, and John Collins. The outermsot flutist looks very familiar, but I can't call a name. Same for a few others.

Dave Nicholson Dave Kingman Dick Stuart

Sam Giancana Fidel Castro Mirta Díaz-Balart

Go Betsy, GO! Barefoot Jazz Drummer! Sexy!

Oh, I forgot, I got this one too: What sold me (such as it was), was the personnel:
