Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,

August 6, 2023: Abbey and Charlie, Charlie and Abbey
Another Sunday to celebrate my musical heroes! Abbey Lincoln - Chicago-born, Michigan-raised. She transformed herself from a glamorous torch singer and film star in the beginning to a glamorous artist of the highest order, reigning for over 50 years as one of the most innovative singers of all time, and retaining her remarkable voice until the end; and bassist Charlie Haden from Shenendoah, whose musical contributions are out of all compass, and upon whose personal bravery in life Miles Davis admiringly told him: "Haden, you are one crazy motherfucker."
We celebrate them together and separately today, going back and forth between them for four glorious hours.

' Anna Marie Wooldridge (August 6, 1930 – August 14, 2010), known professionally as Abbey Lincoln, was an American jazz vocalist and songwriter. She was a civil rights activist beginning in the 1960s. Lincoln made a career out of delivering deeply felt presentations of standards as well as writing and singing her own material. '

' Charles Edward Haden (August 6, 1937 – July 11, 2014) was an American jazz double bass player, bandleader, composer and educator whose career spanned more than 50 years. Building on the work of his predecessor bassists Jimmy Blanton and Charles Mingus, Haden revolutionized the harmonic concept of bass playing in jazz, evolving a way of playing that sometimes complemented the soloist, and sometimes moved independently, to help liberate bass players from a strictly accompanying role, to becoming more direct participants in group improvisation.
In the late 1950s, he was an original member of the ground-breaking Ornette Coleman Quartet. In 1969, he formed his first band, the Liberation Music Orchestra, featuring arrangements by pianist Carla Bley. In the late 1960s, he became a member of pianist Keith Jarrett's trio, quartet and quintet. In the 1980s, he formed his band, Quartet West. Haden also often recorded and performed in a duo setting, with musicians including guitarist Pat Metheny and pianists Hank Jones and Kenny Barron.
German musicologist Joachim-Ernst Berendt wrote that Haden's "ability to create serendipitous harmonies by improvising melodic responses to Coleman's free-form solos (rather than sticking to predetermined harmonies) was both radical and mesmerizing. His virtuosity lies (…) in an incredible ability to make the double bass 'sound out'. Haden cultivated the instrument's gravity as no one else in jazz. He is a master of simplicity which is one of the most difficult things to achieve." '

Anyhow, one shop, my Assistant Manager turned out to be very kewl - a Straight Ahead Jazz fanatic - & he schooled me in many things & I rode his coattails to shows. I never didn't love the Jazzes - but this was the biggest ascension to the next level of appreciation ever... Well he happened to be a major Charlie Haden lover. So in my own little way I have this connection...

The Little Boy is simple enough in concept: a Glen Passaic Depth Charge mixed a la minute by launching the shot into the pint of ale from across the bar, to catastrophic effect. It was hatched up as an expedient late in the Perfect Manhattan Project, when the best minds should have been more heedful of consequences. It's an inefficient drink, in that most of the contents end up on the floor, the walls, and other patrons. It's also impolite, in that the ejected portion tends to melt whomever or whatever it touches. It's better to threaten to send someone a Little Boy than actually to do so, and best to order some canapés instead. The Little Boy has only been mixed once at the Stork. If you look closely, you can see the shadow of its splash marks on the mirror behind the bar. Ever since, anyone asking for it is given a Col. Tibbets: they are dressed in a flight suit, and forced to drink 2oz shots of Glen Passaic, after each of which the drinker is doused in a bucket of blood, until they pass out and are given the bum's rush. This is equally messy, but more just.
Little Boy
2oz Glen Passaic
1 pint Ferebee's Finest Ale
1 slingshot
Fill shotglass with Glen Passaic, nock into slingshot, and aim at belligerent drunk across the bar. Let fly, sink shot in Ferebee's of neighboring patron instead, and sail from the bar with head held high as anyone within splash radius writhes in unendurable agony. Known to cause birth defects and restaurant closures, the Little Boy was formally banned at the Stork in 1963, and almost certainly should never have been mixed at all.

...' While on tour with the Ornette Coleman Quartet in Portugal in 1971, Haden dedicated a performance of his "Song for Ché" to the anticolonialist revolutionaries in the Portuguese colonies of Mozambique, Angola, and Guinea. The song was written in memory of revolutionary Ché Guevara. In 1971, Portugal was ruled by the authoritarian Estado Novo regime. The following day, he was detained at Lisbon Airport, jailed, and interrogated by the DGS, the Portuguese secret police. He was released only after Ornette Coleman and others complained to the American cultural attaché, and he was later interviewed in the United States by the FBI about his choice of dedication. A mono recording of Haden's dedication, and the audience's applause, is included at the beginning of "For A Free Portugal" on his 1976 album Closeness.
Haden decided to form the LMO at the height of the Vietnam War, out of his frustration that so much of the government's energy was spent on the war (in which there were many fatalities), while so many internal problems in the United States (such as poverty, civil rights, mental illness, drug addiction, and unemployment), were neglected. Haden's goal was to use the LMO to amplify unheard voices of oppressed people. He wanted to express his solidarity with progressive political movements from around the world by performing music that made a statement about how to initiate and celebrate liberating change. The LMO's 1982 album The Ballad of the Fallen on ECM commented again on the Spanish Civil War as well as the United States involvement in Latin America. The LMO toured extensively throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 1990, the orchestra returned with Dream Keeper, inspired by a poem of Langston Hughes, and which also drew on American gospel music and South African music to comment on racism in the US and apartheid in South Africa. The album featured choral contributions from the Oakland Youth Chorus. In 2005, Haden released the fourth Liberation Music Orchestra album Not in Our Name, a protest against the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. '...
