Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand, listen
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
I said, come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Right now
Right now
The above song was an actual hit on AM and FM radio in 1967 by the Youngbloods. Several other bands recorded this song during the same period like Jefferson Airplane and HP Lovecraft, but the Youngbloods version is by far the best. Their lead singer Jesse Colin Young had the perfect, heart-warming voice to bring out the then current vibe of Universal Love and Peace which radiates through the lyrics. I still smile and am deeply touched by it whenever I hear it. One of the first full length albums I bought in the Summer of Love (1967) was that 1st self-titled Youngbloods LP in mono. It still has a place in my heart as a perfect record. I was trying to come up with a lyric to a song which expresses the warm feelings of Love, brotherhood, sisterhood, family and friends which we often don't feel, but that we are supposed to feel at this time of year. Although current events often make me feel cynical about our immediate future, I still believe in Universal Kindness, Love and Respect for all. It has been a tough year for anyone I've spoken with in person and on-line, but I still search for the light at the end of the tunnel. Although CD sales continue to drop, we still hear from friends and customers who appreciate what we do and I truly thank all who read this newsletter, come to visit us in the store or just order from us on line.
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and Great Kwanza Spirits to all who believe the True Preservation of Humanity. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. - The DMG Crew: Bruce Lee Gallanter, John J Mori, Caroline Morton and Sarah Sorbi

Rain of Terror
By Abiodun Oyewole
Great Poet and founding member of The Last Poets
America is a terrorist killing the natives of the land
Killing and stealing has always been America’s master plan
To control the earth and everything on it
To divide and conquer is all they wanted.
America is a terrorist killing the buffalo that roam the plains
Killing and slaughtering animals was turned into a game
Giving blankets contaminated with small pox
The natives were killed, the beginning germ warfare
The beginning of white fear.
No respect for the land, the trees, or the air we breathe
And Christianity was an excuse to bring others to their knees.
America is a terrorist with a slave system in place
To take away the humanity of a darker race
Put people in chains, then beat them with whips
Made them give up their names
Those who survived the slave ship.
America is a terrorist with a Howdy Doody grin
Using the Bible to keep others in check
While America commits all the sins
Thou shalt not kill, that’s not part of the American dream
For to kill is a thrill they love to show on your TV screen
Romance the gun just for fun.
Drop a bomb just for charm.
This is the American Way.
And all of this talk about equality, justice and peace
Spewing out of the mouths of these governmental beasts.
But every time Blacks tried to find a way to do for self
The American terrorist wasn’t having it
And fear was all Black folks felt.
America is a terrorist feeding off racism and greed
Not caring or sharing, but enjoying watching people bleed.
For over 400 years Blacks have lived in fear of the vicious cruelty of the racists.
They tried to march for justice and civil rights to be treated fair
Attacked by dogs and fire hoses, beaten by police, forced to live a life in total despair.
They bombed the church in Birmingham while the children were in Sunday school
Took the lives of four little girls, yes this terrorist was just that cruel.
American terrorism is like a virus that’s home grown and spreads across the planet too.
Selling guns and chemical weapons, gift-wrapped in red, white, and blue.
Soldier boys selling guns for hard drugs in exchange
It should be obvious by now that this country is deranged.
America is a terrorist and no one wants to admit
And pointing the finger at others is the ironic part of it.
Drop a bomb in Philadelphia to wipe out an organization called MOVE.
Killed unarmed women and children because the police had something to prove.
And all the Black Panthers who were trying to help their community
Wiped out by the FBI for trying to create Black unity.
Put drugs in the hood, set folks up for no good.
Kept unemployment high, education is laced with lies.
Turn the people against each other.
Made money more sacred than your mother.
Cause an avalanche of grief by trigger happy police.
Locked the Black man up in jail, made him think he was born to fail.
And no place are you safe if you have a darker face.
Henry Dumas, Amadou Diallo, Yusef Hawkins, Michael Griffith, Anthony Báez,
Eleanor Bumpers, Emmett Till, James Byrd, just to name a few
Died at the hands of American terrorists.
Terrorism here ain’t nothing new.
A few Vision Fests back, I caught a band fronted by Abiodon Oyewole with Ava Mendoza and Devin Waldman amongst their personnel. Their set, especially the words of Mr. Oyewole blew me away and I do hope that a label (like International Anthem) will release their first album sometime soon. Abiodon Oyewole was a founding member of The Last Poets, perhaps the greatest of all poet-led bands, whose first album was released in 1970. The Last Poets are considered to be the Godfathers of Rap, a decade before this type of music emerged from the streets and into the spotlights. As someone who has long been fascinated with protest lyrics, I've been a fan of the Last Poets from the mid-seventies onwards, finding their albums in cut-out bins in the 70's and savoring each one for its lyrical righteousness. The Last Poets started with just three voices and soon added conga drums and electric bass. Eventually other instruments were added to the band: tenor sax, piano and more percussion. In the mid-1980's bassist/producer Bill Laswell was brought in to produce and added more instrumentation: Ayib Dieng (on percussion), Bootsy Collins (bass), Bernie Worrell (keyboards),Pharoah Sanders (on tenor sax) and others. Considering that the Last Poets have been around for many than a half century, they have recorded sporadically. I still dig each of 15 or so albums that I have of theirs and look forward to the next one when it does come out. We just got in their latest release, 'Transcending Toxic Times' this week so grab your copy soon if you want some Speaking Truth to Power with their incisive words. The Last Poets still Rule! - MC BruceLee at DMG

***************
THIS WEEK'S SONIC GEMS BEGIN WITH:
We recently started to do business with Jamaaladeen Tacuma and his lovely wife so we will be getting in a number of his CDs on his own Jamaal Productions label. Except for the below listed Last Poets CD, everything else on the label is limited edition. Some of their 30 titles are already sold out. We do have some copies of all three of below listed titles, most items will sell out in the near future. We will be getting just 10 copies of the FREE FORM FUNKY FREQS w/ VERNON REID / JAMAALADEEN TACUMA / CALVIN WESTON - Bon Vivant soon and it is now out-of-print so please order your copy if you want one.
MARY HALVORSON & JAMAALADEEN TACUMA - Strings & Things (Jamaal Productions; USA) While on tour sharing the stage every night I while on tour in 2014 Mary & Jamaaladeen found the opportunity for a Duet recording. The telepathic creative energy was flying high after the concerts to adoring packed houses in Japan. The result “Strings & Things “ a self titled debut recording. Two ground breaking critically acclaimed forward thinking musicians from two very distinct generations come together for a sincere creative improvisational journey. Their unique voices melding together for a riveting auditory experience. Another historical step forward.
CD $25 [Last 5 copies of this now out-of-print CD, might be reprinted we will see]
THE LAST POETS Featuring JAMAALADEEN TACUMA with RICHARD TUCKER / YOICHI UZEKI / KHARY ABDUL / WOLFGANG PUSCHNIG / TIM MOTZER / et al - Transcending Toxic Times (Jamaal Productions / Ropeadope; USA) 50 years ago Abiodun Oyewole was in the middle of it: vocally challenging both the oppressors and the oppressed. Looking for truth to be spoken at any cost, mourning the loss of Malcolm and Martin among many others named and unnamed in THE struggle of the time. A struggle that is more relevant today than it ever was as African Americans continue to press the nation for truth and equality. Dun met Umar Bin Hassan at a Black Arts event in Ohio, and Umar made the trip to New York to join the group. Baba Donn Babatunde showed up later, adding percussion to the poetry.
The history is strong, much has been written and is easily found. But the spirit of these men in their common creative interaction is the real story. 50 years of perseverance, of bearing witness to the most atrocious of crimes, 50 years of personal challenges and yet still and adherence to the higher principles of love, or respect, and of kindness to your fellow human.
Enter Jamaaladeen Tacuma. It takes someone who understands the essence of The Last Poets better than the poets themselves. A man who knows the history from the inside, but has a foot in the music world as well. Tacuma’s bass playing is refined, yet just as swinging as if it were not. But it is his role as producer here that elevates this album above all others. A knowledge of what people want to hear, an understanding of what the message is and how it MUST be delivered, and the skill and friends to blend the two. This is not poetry set to music, nor is it music made for poets. This is a seamless transfiguration of the groove, the words, and the essential human elements that live between the notes and the words.
Transcending Toxic Times is a broad work of human emotion: Anger, scorn, frustration, challenge, beauty, sorrow, love, and joy are all present. The spoken word is rhythmic, melodic at times. The baselines and the groove are irresistible, and the message is unavoidable.
On that winter day we witnessed the realization of four great artists: that their individual and collective contributions had transcended each of them and ALL of them. That they were in the presence of something definitive and transcendent.
2 CD Set $25
SAXOFOUR / JAMAALADEEN TACUMA / TIMMY HUTSON - 25 Years of Joy and Fun (Jamaal Productions; USA) Featuring Wolfgang Puschnig, Kalus Dickbauer, Florian Bramböck & Christian Maurer on saxes, Jamaaladeen Tacuma on electric bass and Timmy Hutson on drums. The ideal combination of groove, originality, spirit, and virtuosity that is not afraid to give humor a major role. Four individualists who logically form a unit at the highest musical level. Four of the most sought after sax players along with Jamaaladeen Tacuma on bass & Tim Hutson on drums.
CD $25 [Limited edition CD]
AREK GULBENKOGLU / MATTHEW REVERT - Independent Television (erstwhile 104; USA) On previous recording Arek Gulbenkoglu plays guitars, snare drum plus sampling the environment and oscillators. Matthew Revert deals with musique concrete, field recording and other more experimental sounds. Both artists hail from Australia with Mr. Revert collaborating with Vanessa Rossetto, for other discs on erstwhile. When this disc begins, it is hard to tell what is going on: eerie, quiet, feedback-like sounds are floating together. Some of the sounds are close-mic'd and sound like birds chirping with rumbling low end sounds resonating underneath. Even the feedback here is carefully manipulated. Even though I can't often tell what is being manipulated or sampled, all of the sounds remain fascinating. Wind samples, low-end drones, rubbed surfaces, as with many erstwhile CD's, it is hard to tell who is doing what yet the music or environmental sounds remain well worth exploring. On a track called "Public Face", there are layers of voices all spinning together. Even without knowing what those voices are saying, we do get a certain vibe of human spirits in conversation. The last piece, "Cold Rounds" includes an array of eerie sounds like a flock of birds, lots of odd unidentifiable sounds: whispers, static, soft feedback, all most effective at creating another sonic environment. When this disc ended, I felt as if I had been transformed and put into another place in my imagination. - Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG
CD $15
MARJA AHTI / MANJA RISTIC - Transference (erstwhile 103; USA) Featuring Marja Ahti on recordings, electronics, objects, piano, percussion & bass harmonica and Manja Ristic on recordings, electronics, objects, piano, violin & cello. Marja Ahti is Swiss-born and lives in Finland. Manja Ristic was born in Belgrade in Serbia and lives in Korčula in Croatia. Both of these women have more than a dozen recordings, mostly on small, self-produced labels. The erstwhile label remains an enigmatic one with mystifying recordings that are difficult to define. The music or sounds here on "Asymmetries" swirl, buzz, hum and drone, haunting high end buzzing, somber (blowing in a water bottle-like) drones and some sounds which are hard to identify. It sounds to me like many of these sounds (field recordings I think) have been subtly and carefully manipulated and transformed. Even recognizable sounds like the wind are utilized and transformed. While listening to a piece called, "Grapefruit Section", I heard sounds (like bells or pieces of metal being tapped on) in which I visualized chimes which were being moved by a wind current. Some of the sounds here are ultra subtle or quite quiet so that we have to listen more closely. Often it doesn't quite matter what specific sounds are, it is what we hear and what is conjured in our mind's eye & ear. The last piece, "Do They Worship Herons?" features what sounds like a harmonium and is rather dream-like. There is a calm feeling at the center of this piece which I like. All that is missing is a solemn voice praying in the distance. Then again, that section wouldn't be found on an erstwhile CD. So it goes. - Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG
CD $15
LUCY KITT - Telling Me (Wineberry Records WBR 002CD; UK) British singer-songwriter Lucy Kitt presents her highly-anticipated second album, Telling Me, a deeply personal collection that shifts focus from introspection to storytelling, capturing the lives and struggles of those closest to her. Drawing from her love of '70s Laurel Canyon folk, '90s indie rock, and country music, Kitt crafts narratives that blend her own experiences with compassionate observations of loved ones. Based on a raw acoustic "three chords and the truth" style of songwriting that ripples throughout, the album expands with full-band arrangements that give a huge range and richness to the sound. Though influenced by American musical traditions, the Essex-native maintains her distinctive voice and authenticity, ensuring the music remains unmistakably her own. Following her 2018 debut Stand By, this new record represents a more mature approach to songwriting, written during her early 30s and completed in the 2021 lockdown -- a storybook of songs capturing that moment in time. Musically, Telling Me showcases Kitt's stripped-down acoustic foundations, while incorporating fuller arrangements that blend her love of Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, with music she loved as a teenager such as The Lemonheads and Veruca Salt. The album features collaborations with an impressive roster of musicians, including Jay Starkey on drums, Nashville-based pedal steel virtuoso Spencer Cullum, Treetop Flyer's Sam Beer and longtime collaborator Pat Kenneally on drums and piano. Recorded between 2021-2023 at London's Lightship 95 studio at Trinity Buoy Wharf, the album was co-produced and engineered by Dave Holmes, with some musicians contributing remotely from Nashville and London.

BACK IN STOCK:
SATOKO FUJII QUARTET With NATSUKI TAMURA/TAKEHARU HAYAKAWA/ TATSUYA YOSHIDA - Zephos (Not Two MW- 752-2; Poland) Featuring Natsuki Tamura on trumpet, Satoko Fujii on piano & compositions, Takeharu Hayakawa on electric bass and Tatsuya Yoshida (from RUINS!) on drums & voice. This the third amazing release from the ever incredible pianist, composer and multi-bandleader Satoko Fujii with her husband and ace trumpeter Natsuki Tamura plus former Ruins bass great Takeharu Hayakawa and that ubiquitous monster drummer & Ruins founder Tatsuya Yoshida. Satoko and Tatsuya also have two superb duo discs out as well, a live from Victo from last year and a new studio one on Tzadik from earlier this month. What I find most fascinating about this quartet is that although Satoko & Natsuki come from a mostly diverse jazz background, those crazed Ruins dudes have created their own progressive/punk world. Quite an odd combination of extremes which grows stronger with each disc by challenging each member and the audience as well. All, but the long opening piece, are new ones written by Satoko and that first piece, "The Future of the Past", was done earlier by one of Satoko's big bands. This piece is an intense and explosive work with powerful drums and piano shaking the foundations over the equally impressive el. bass which balances underneath with great skill, occasionally playing some fine solo spots that are stark and pensive and often leading the way by navigating the currents masterfully. Naksuki plays a long and exciting trumpet solo that just keeps going as the rest of the quartet push higher and higher. An incredible epic! "As Usual" starts quietly, but soon bursts into some Ruins-like complex explosiveness, including an impressive electric bass solo. "Flying to the South" features a fabulous, majestic solo piano intro which soon works its way through more great intricate quartet intensity/insanity, strong writing which seems to come from a progressive meets jazz hybrid. "First Tango" features a solo of Tatsuya's drums being played through a flanging device, something we rarely here nowadays, the piece itself has an almost tango-like groove and another fine piano solo from Ms. Fujii. Satoko appears to have worked long and hard on the material here, as each piece features layers on complex arrangements, as well as tight ensemble playing. "One Summer Day" shows a more restrained side with some delicate playing from the trumpet and piano, while "Clear Sky" brings back another sort of odd Latiny riff with a playful theme. "15 Minutes to Get to the Station" features some that wacky Magma-like vocal weirdness that Tatsuya loves to do with some hypnotic freer playing floating around, but breaking into a more intense, progressive, rocking thing, which moves through complex sections while Naksuki plays a difficult hair-pin turn solo, winding down to more somber conclusion. Once more Satoko Fujii's outstanding quartet delivers!
CD $18
SATOKO FUJII QUARTET - Vulcan (Libra 204-005; Japan)Satoko Fujii just continues to excel in each situation she enters. The young pianist, a graduate of the Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music, has recorded everything from solo sessions to large orchestras. Her album, Double Take (Ewe Music 2000), was a masterpiece of large avant-garde ensembles, recording the same music with two orchestras, one Japanese and one American. She has done duets with Paul Bley, her husband trumpeter Natsuki Tamura and, Mark Feldman April Shower.
By far her most compelling work has been in trio with bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Jim Black. This, their fourth outing together, features ensemble playing that pushes the trio concept further from its tradition with challenging compositions and interplay. Fujii is as comfortable in a Cecil Taylor mode as she is playing Bill Evans. Together with Dresser and Black, Fujii’s musical vision reveals itself. The trio takes several tunes at breakneck speeds. Jim Black somehow never seems to play anything in straight time or on the skins of his drum set. Like Black, Mark Dresser, who mastered his voice in Anthony Braxton’s band, eschews the traditional time keeping for experimentation. This album is about new sounds and unique group interplay that doesn’t rely on the dire straits of free jazz. Within the context of compositions this is some of the free-ist music heard this side of Sun Ra.
With an approach different from the American trio is Vulcan, an all Japanese quartet recording that brings a healthy dose of funk and noise. This disc is co-led by Natsuki Tamura the growling trumpet Japanese cousin to Dave Douglas. Tamaru's talking horn opens the track “Incident” over the cascading piano and drum background, only to unfold into a rocked-out finale. Fujii’s quartet relies heavily on the electric bass here to set the groove. This more consistent pulse makes the music more accessible yet the soloing by Fujii and Tamura is anything but mainstream. Fujii often counters the heavy groove with gentle acoustic semi-classical runs. Her avant jamband quartet just adds another facet to the challenging and refreshing sounds of this young pianist. - Mark Corroto, AllAbout Jazz
