↳ Song: "Berimbau" by "Agustín Pereyra Lucena"
"Pereyra Lucena’s self-titled debut album from 1970.

One of the outstanding South American guitarists, Agustin Pereyra Lucena commanded a unique position in Latin music history. He hailed from Buenos Aires, but was obsessed with the music of Brazil."

Saw Simmons in downtown Oakland with Cosmosomatics. They played a weird space near the Chinatown branch of the public library. Loved it.

Arhoolie didn't just do "roots" music, they also released several free jazz LPs, like Manhattan Egos from 1969
  7:50pm
Dean:

Yes, but the free jazz part of the catalog was evidently due to the fact that Chris, with whom I share a birthday, had a girlfriend into that repertoire. He himself was not a fan.
  7:50pm
Listener Gregory:

This Simmons makes a lot more sense to me than that Meditation song. Nice cut.

↳ Song: "Village Song" by "Isaiah Collier"
"Nowhere is this more evident than on the album’s 13-minute centrepiece, ‘Village Song’, in which Collier evokes the spiritual, psychological and emotional home of the African diaspora in song. “I want to speak to everybody of the African diaspora, truly in its entirety,” he explains, “from all the way of being back in the motherland, to the new lands we’ve come to.” "

I’m not a big fan of Collier’s, but I like this a lot.

George Lewis - "This essay examines one of the first extensively documented musical collaborations between two experimental music communities that emerged at around the same moment in time: members of the European “free jazz” or “free improvisation” movement, an international development that spanned the continent, and the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), a product of Chicago’s racially segregated, all-black South Side. The collaboration, organized by the important critic and radio producer Joachim Ernst Berendt, took place in 1969 at the Baden-Baden “Free Jazz Treffen” in the German Schwarzwald. While the goals, methods, materials, geographical base, historical outlook, political and cultural stances, and critical reception of the two avant-gardes differ markedly, both of these movements are framed in music histories as key representatives of a second generation of the “free jazz” movement spearheaded by Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane, among many others. By 1965, these two experimental networks, based on different continents and unaware of each other, yet sharing important characteristics, goals and acknowledged musical antecedents, were in the process of crystallization. A studio recording from the “Free Jazz Treffen” was released in 1970 under Lester Bowie's leadership, bearing the pointedly ironic title, “Gittin’ To Know Y'All." Reading the history of the two avant-gardes around the Bowie recording, the essay seeks answers to the question of why these two avant-gardes, despite their seeming compatibilities, remain relatively distanced from each other in terms of certain kinds of collaborations." www.criticalimprov.com...
