The Jihad – Black And Beautiful... Soul And Madness (1698, Jihad Records 1001)
По случаю окончания священного для мусульман месяца Рамадана и празднованию Ураза-байрама – одного из главных дней исламского календаря решил вспомнить о такой вот пластиночке: “Черные и красивые… Соул и Безумие”!
Мусульмане на обложке и джаз внутри! Редкая авангардная фри-джаз пластинка, вышедшая в 1968м году на частном лэйбле американского писателя и поэта Амири Бараки (до принятия ислама – Лироя Джонса) Jihad. Революционная поэзия с радикальными расистскими текстами, заряженная джазовой энергетикой, иногда переходящей в соул и рнб, иногда в спиритуалз, а порой и просто теряя всякую ритмическую структуру превращается в абсурдную инструментально-кричащую какофонию. Боль черных и эхо джихада, который так и не наступил в 60х и 70х. Музыка не для всех, напоминает творчество Last Poets и Гил Скотт Херона, и возможно будет интересна меломанам “копающим” истоки хип-хопа.
Ultra rare free jazz Lp. An incredible relic of the righteous underground of the late 60s from the Spirit House Movers – and one of the three classic albums on the Amiri Baraka’s Jihad label! Spiritual avantgard jazz mixed with poetry is the sound at this LP. The group was a vocal group of sorts – sometimes singing, sometimes rapping in a Last Poets-styled way – often doing both at the same time, in a mode that was really compelling and extremely powerful! Fronted by Leroi Jones, actually Amiri Baraka, on the first word music record he ever did that was completely devoted to the style. His spoken words are the lead instrument, and he’s accompanied by a great group of singers – including Freedy Johnson, Leonard Cathcart, Aireen Eternal, Gilbert Monk and Yusef Iman – and some spare percussion.
