October 13, 2024: Birthday Triplets; Johnny Lytle, Nusrat Fateh Ali-Khan and Pharoah Sanders
Leading off: vibes-wiz Johnny "Fast Hands" Lyttle from Springfield, Ohio, Yep, THAT Springfield. Lionel Hampton called him the best ever. Followed by the power and the glory of Pakastani master Qawwali-singer Nusrat Fateh Ali-Khan, and then a nice, long tribute to Little Rock's Pharoah Sanders - one-time Coltrane mentee - playing saxes, flutes, piccolo, ringing bells and singing from the soul.

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
' John “Johnny” Dillard Lytle (October 13, 1932 in Springfield, Ohio – December 15, 1995 in Springfield) was an American jazz drummer and vibraphonist...
Lionel Hampton said Lytle was "the greatest vibes player in the world." Lytle was known for his great hand speed and showmanship...
He found success early in his career with chart-topping albums like A Groove, Moon Child, and The Loop. From his swinging uptempo tracks to his soul-satisfying ballads, Lytle knew how to keep a groove. And with a nickname like "Fast Hands", he could always keep the attention of an audience. In addition to his musicianship, his gregarious personality made him a popular attraction on the jazz circuit. Even though he did not experience the same success he was privileged to during the 1960s, he did continue to record and build a respectable catalog of music with recordings in the '70s, '80s and '90s '...

' Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan PP (Punjabi: نصرت فتح علی خان, Punjabi pronunciation: [nʊsˈɾət̪ ˈfət̪e(ɦ) əliː ˈxɑːn]; born Pervez Fateh Ali Khan; 13 October 1948 – 16 August 1997), popularly abbreviated as NFAK was a Pakistani singer, songwriter, and music director. He was primarily a singer of qawwali, a form of Sufi devotional music. Often called the "Shahenshah-e-Qawwali" (the King of Kings of Qawwali), he is considered by The New York Times to be the greatest Qawwali singer of all time. He was described as the fourth greatest singer of all time by LA Weekly in 2016. He was known for his vocal abilities and could perform at a high level of intensity for several hours. Khan is widely credited with introducing Qawwali music to international audiences. He was also a master of Hindustani classical music '...

' Pharoah Sanders (born Ferrell Lee Sanders; October 13, 1940 – September 24, 2022) was an American jazz saxophonist. Known for his overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone, as well as his use of "sheets of sound", Sanders played a prominent role in the development of free jazz and spiritual jazz through his work as a member of John Coltrane's groups in the mid-1960s, and later through his solo work. He released more than thirty albums as a leader and collaborated extensively with vocalist Leon Thomas and pianist Alice Coltrane, among many others. Fellow saxophonist Ornette Coleman once described him as "probably the best tenor player in the world".
Sanders' take on spiritual jazz was rooted in his inspiration from religious concepts such as karma and tawhid, and his rich, meditative performance aesthetic. This style was seen as a continuation of Coltrane's work on albums such as A Love Supreme. As a result, Sanders was considered to have been a disciple of Coltrane or, as Albert Ayler said, "Trane was the Father, Pharoah was the Son, I am the Holy Ghost" '...

Any day where I can load up on NFAK and Pharaoh Sanders is a great day.
I saw Nusrat many times during the day.. surrounded by his countrymen... surrounded by NYC hipsters... and combinations thereof. But my favorite moment was when he appeared at Central Park SummerStage on Pakistani independence day (Aug 14). As he launched into "Kinna Sohna" all the NYC hipsters, all the Pakistani elders, and all the Pakistani kids erupted. It was a cross-generational, multi-national hit for a very wide demographic. And a moment when "world music" had more of a presence.
I miss both NFAK and Pharaoh very much.

...just as the concept of there really only being 1 "political party", or corporation, in the us - staging all the competition, and ultimately putting whichever talking head in office that works in their overall plan.
certainly plausible; but then there're countless fools who have been manipulated by marketing to adopt an idea that "conspiracy theorist" is a derogitory term.
