Looking up the album, I see it had nothing to do with the Shaft sound track or one of the followup Shaft movies. An all star session riding on Roundtree's new celebrity status. Totally missed that album in the 70s.

Unless one can stay consistently engaged in the present, nostalgia becomes an increasingly poignant problem as one enters old age.

The only solution is to be engaged in the present, but it's become so difficult now. There just don't seem to be enough outlets.

But I know it would have helped if I had been able to stay in kingston. At least there's something going on there, and it's 10 miles to woodstock.

↳ Song: "Retreat" by "Isaiah Collier"
"Name-checking Sun Ra, Ras G, J Dilla, Fela Kuti, Miles Davis, Gil Scott-Heron, Whitney Huston, Aaliyah and Frankie Knuckles, the opening of track of Parallel Universe imagines a genreless musical lineage that resonates with the polyphony of stories his band bring to the table, from Chicago and beyond."

Guaguancó
Avatar 8:48pm
Observations:

"A type of rumba. Originating in the aftermath of the abolition of slavery on the island in 1886, guaguancó represents the fusion of several Afro-Cuban profane rituals, known as rumbas. The other two important varieties are yambú and columbia. Guaguancó’s dancers, moving to the beat of percussion instruments and surrounded by a chorus with a lead singer, perform a figurative erotic choreography. The male pursues the female with strong pelvic movements of a mimetic nature. She, in turn, evades and repels him, until ultimately surrendering. The final symbolic act of possession is known as the vacunao.

Many, if not most, guaguancós were anonymous compositions. The oldest, dating from late Spanish colonial era, are known as rumbas “de tiempo España.” Though African in rhythm, the guaguancó reveals certain Spanish influences, especially by way of flamenco and the rural décimas, in the text of its songs. According to Mongo Santamaría (b. 1927), one of the genre’s leading interpreters, guaguancó came about when Afro­- Cubans tried to sing flamenco.

Founded in the 1950s, the ensemble “Muñequitos de Matanzas” has performed traditional rumba, especially guaguancó, in the urban Matanzas style. Since the late 1990s, authentic Cuban rumba has experienced an international revival, largely due to groups like the “Muñequitos de Matanzas,” Los Papines, AfroCuba, and others."

back to screen, had take out diner sandwiches.

In 2018 we had the honor and pleasure of visiting the home base of the “Muñequitos de Matanzas” in Matanzas Cuba. Our little tour group got an afternoon work shop performance and the next night a street party.

There is lots of “Muñequitos de Matanzas” on YouTube, some are very polished but still really wild stage performances. A multigeneration extended families enterprise.

And have appreciated the Eugene McDaniels tastes scattered though the sets.

That Richard Roundtree LP you played from in the first set had significant participation from Leon Pendarvis. Keyboards, music arrangements, co-write credits with McDaniels.

Very nice. Know of McIntyre, did not know of this LP. A great find. I know of him mostly as sideman and several out / experimental jazz sessions.

I see that Selwert Clark is credited as leading the strings, wonder if he did the arrangements as well. I thought that GTDS Doug did a splendid program featuring or featurette on Selwert Clark a while back but I can't find it.
