E512 | For years, the historiography of the 14th-century Black Death produced more questions than answers. Then, roughly a decade ago, genomic research confirmed that the medieval Black Death was caused by the same bacteria, yersinia pestis, which causes the modern bubonic plague. This settled the burning question of precisely which disease had caused the pandemic that produced colossal mortality in many parts of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. In this episode, we speak to Monica H. Green, whose recent work has raised new questions about the Black Death by showing that the chronology of the Black Death was incomplete. As she explains, prior outbreaks of plague in 13th-century Asia occurred at the edges of the ascendant Mongol Empire, roughly a century before the plague arrived in Western Europe. In our conversation, we learn how Green uncovered the new story of the "four Black Deaths" and in doing so, explore the historiography of the Black Death and how genetics, archaeology, and a fresh approach to textual sources have brought us to a deeper understand of one of history's deadliest pandemics.

Monica H. Green is a historian of medicine specializing on medieval medical history and global health. The author or editor of four books and numerous articles, Green works on the social and intellectual history of medicine of Europe while also pursuing new work that brings scientific findings on the histories of infectious diseases into dialogue with traditional historical sources. She is currently working on a book, The Black Death: A Global History, which proposes a redefined conception of the geography and the chronology of the late medieval plague pandemic known as the Black Death. A second book-in-progress focuses on the impact of the medical translations (Arabic-into-Latin) of the 11th-century merchant-turned-monk, Constantinus Africanus. Together with Nükhet Varlık and Tunahan Durmaz, she is engaged on a project, initially funded by the Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest, to make more sources on the history of plague in the Islamicate world available in English translation.

Chris Gratien is Assistant Professor of History at University of Virginia, where he teaches classes on global environmental history and the Middle East. His first monograph entitled The Unsettled Plain: An Environmental History of the Late Ottoman Frontier is forthcoming with Stanford University Press.

BBE Music welcomes pianist Aki Takase to the J Jazz Masterclass reissue series, with her 1982 live album ‘Song for Hope’.

A musician of poise and precision who has been a noted composer, performer and recording artist for over 40 years, Takase’s ‘Song for Hope’ continues BBE Music’s exploration of Japanese modern jazz from a golden period spanning the late 1960s to the mid-1980s.

The ‘Song for Hope’ album is taken from a recording of Takase’s debut European performance taped in November 1981 at the Berlin Jazz Festival and was originally issued in 1982 by Enja Records, a key European jazz label founded in Munich 1971 by Matthias Winckelmann and Horst Weber. On Enja, Takase found herself labelmates with some of the world’s leading jazz pianists like Mal Waldron, Dollar Brand and Randy Weston, and she followed in the footsteps of other leading Japanese artists on the label such as Terumasa Hino and Yosuke Yamashita.

The hypnotic title track was included on J Jazz vol. 3, and it features J Jazz stalwart Takeo Moriyama on drums, joined by Nobuyoshi Ino on bass. Moriyama’s career has been well documented on J Jazz vol. 1, and his sublime ‘East Plants’ album was reissued as part of the J Jazz Masterclass Series. Bassist Ino has been an active member of the Japanese jazz scene since the mid-1970s and has performed and recorded with many leading artists and groups including Fumio Itabashi, Masahiko Togashi, Hiromasa Suzuki, Masaru Imada and Masayuki Takayanagi.

Aki Takase was born in Osaka in 1948 and began playing piano aged 3. Raised in Tokyo, she studied classical music at the Toho Gakuen Academy, and her musical interests developed from a starting point in classical, before going on to encompass contemporary music and jazz. Among the first jazz compositions she explored were works by Charles Mingus and Ornette Coleman and, in 1972, she moved to New York, working with, among others, Lester Bowie, John Zorn and Dave Liebman.

She recorded her debut album for Seven Seas/King Records in 1978 and appeared on some key J Jazz album such as Yoshio Ikeda’s ‘Sketches of my Life’ and Seiichi Nakamura’s ‘Wolf’s Theme’. Takase has lived in Berlin since 1987 and is married to German pianist and composer Alexander von Schlippenbach, with whom she records and performs, sometimes as part of the Berlin Contemporary Jazz Orchestra. She has also performed and recorded extensively with many other leading figures in contemporary jazz and improvised music including David Murray, Fred Frith, Evan Parker, and Maria João.

The J Jazz Masterclass Series is curated by Tony Higgins and Mike Peden for BBE Music.

Neumond im Wassermann 9.2.24 findet am 9. Februar 2024 um 23.59 Uhr statt 
•	Beste Zeit für das Ritual/ Thema: Opferrolle loslassen
•	Siehe/ lese unten, oder lese es in meinem Telegram-Kanal: Meditation des Verstehens/ Centrum der Kraft: das Tor in die neue Zeit

Pluto, der sich zeitgleich mit dem Neumond im Wassermann befindet, verstärkt den Wunsch nach Wandel und Erneuerungen und kann zusätzlich beim Erreichen jeglicher Ziele unterstützen. 
•	Während dieses Neumonds lassen viele aufsteigende Seelen tiefe Generationstraumata und sich wiederholende Zyklen los, was bei einigen zu extremer Müdigkeit und geistiger Erschöpfung führt. 
•	Es ist eine starke rebellische Energie. 
•	Fad und gewöhnlich und “wie gehabt” interessiert jetzt nicht, keine Idee ist zu abwegig, um darüber nachzudenken, keine Frage zu abgefahren, um sie zu stellen. 

Nicht nur die Sonne und der Mond stehen im Wassermann, auch Pluto und Merkur und dann ab dem 13. Februar Mars und ab dem 16. Venus – ein sogenanntes Wassermann-Stellium, das bis zum 11. März andauert. 
•	Dieser Neumond hallt also lange nach. 
•	Dies ist die beste Zeit des Jahres, um die Initiative zu ergreifen, und was wir jetzt beginnen, könnte bis zum nächsten Jahr andauern.

Der Ausdruck von Uranus ist die Oktave des höheren Bewusstseins. 
•	Uranus gilt als Kanal zum Kosmos, Die nächsten 20 Jahre ist es unsere kollektive Aufgabe, diese kosmischen Frequenzen zu integrieren und zu lenken, um zu Mitschöpferinnen zu werden.
•	Es geht um die kosmische Umgestaltung, um eine neue Ausrichtung für die Zukunft zu schaffen,

lasse Dich ein, Inge Schubert

Meditation:
Der kosmische Umbau
•	Öffne Dich dem göttlichen Willen und geht den Weg von der Dunkelheit ins Licht.

Dies ist die Chance, dein Leben und deine Welt neu zu gestalten.
•	Neues in die Welt zu tragen.

Frage Dich:
•	Bin ich bereit, in meine Visionen und meine Einzigartigkeit zu investieren?
•	Das Jahr 2024		
2

Ritual/ Opferhaltung loslassen:
•	Schreibe auf einen Zettel, in welchen Situationen du dich als Opfer zur Verfügung gestellt hast.

Spreche folgenden Text:
1.	Ich erkenne, dass die Schatten des Opfers dazu führten verletzt, verwundet oder besiegt zu werden.
2.	Ich höre auf mich bewusst oder unbewusst vor den Tatsachen zu verstecken, dass ich in Wahrheit erst einmal dem zustimmen musste, bevor ich zum Opfer werden konnte.
3.	Ich höre auf Opfer zu sein, es zu benutzen um das zu tun, was ich will, und das zu lassen, was ich nicht will.
4.	Ich erkenne, Opferhaltung dient dazu, meinen Sinn und meine Fähigkeiten, vor mir selbst zu verstecken.
5.	Ich erkenne, meine Opferrolle investiert in das Ego und hilft Sucht zu befriedigen.
6.	Ich erkenne, es ist meine Anklage an alles und jeden, auch an Gott, dass das Außen alles falsch gemacht hat.
7.	Es ist mein Versuch etwas zu beweisen.
8.	Es ist mein Versuch etwas oder jemand festzuhalten.
9.	Es ist meine Versuch Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen und Bedürfnisse erfüllt zu bekommen.
10.	Ich erkenne, meine Opferrolle investiert in das Ego und hilft Sucht zu befriedigen.
11.	Ich erkenne, es ist meine Anklage an alles und jeden, auch an Gott, dass das Außen alles falsch gemacht hat.
12.	Ich erkenne, dass ich dies als Vorwand benutze, um mich nicht ändern zu müssen.
13.	Ich gehe in eine höhere Bewusstseinsebene, damit ich nicht länger zum Angriff einlade.
14.	Ich übernehme die Verantwortung für Dein Leben.
15.	Ich weiß, dadurch werden ab jetzt viele Schwierigkeiten in meinem Leben gehen! 
16.	Ich erkenne, die äußeren negativen Erfahrungen möchten mir helfen, in einen Neuanfang zu kommen, mein Glück zu erkennen und zu kreieren.
17.	Ich bin dankbar für die grenzenlose Fülle in mir und die unendlich vielen Möglichkeiten des Lebens. 
18.	Möge Heilung in mir und allen fühlenden Wesen geschehen, indem heilt, was verletzt wurde. So sei es!

Nachdem du den Text laut gesprochen hast, verbrenne den Zettel.

Alex Andrikopolous AKA Lex (Athens) released his brilliant debut album Waving in 2022 on Leng and he now returns with an EP combining fine remixes of tracks from Waving alongside two new previously unheard cuts.

The remixes are undeniably special. Fittingly, the EP begins with the first of these, a sensationally sun-soaked revision of one of Andrikopolous’s most Balearic moments – previous single ‘Punta Allen’ – by former Nuphonic fusionists and FAR label founders Faze Action. The Lee brothers’ take is one of those sunset-friendly workouts that wraps glistening guitar licks, steel pan style motifs, Lex’s gorgeous lead lines, hazy electric piano solos and life-affirming keyboard riffs around rolling nu-disco beats and a new rubbery bassline courtesy of Robin Lee himself. It has the feel of a pool-side anthem in the making.

Just as potent is the typically quirky and hard-to-pigeonhole revision of ‘Prezend’ by Manchester maverick Ruf Dug. Here he offers up a genuinely revolutionary rework, re-imaging the track as a sparse-but-colourful fusion of vintage acid house bass, saucer-eyed piano riffs, dubbed-out synth sounds, jacking lo-fi drum machine beats and squelchy TB-303 tweaks. While fresh and undeniably contemporary, the remix has an alluringly nostalgic, retro-futurist vibe. 

Clustered around these two top-notch revisions is a pair of previously unreleased Lex originals. He joins forces with regular collaborator Locke once more on ‘Libre De Amor’, an infectious chunk of, low-slung dub disco marked out by weighty bass, jammed-out electric piano motifs, spacey pads, intergalactic effects and mazy synth solos. Dotted with additional percussion hits and echoing female vocal snippets, it’s one of the pair’s most potent dancefloor workouts of recent times.

To round off a rock-solid EP, the Athens-based veteran blurs the boundaries between stripped-back, late-80s house nostalgia and nu-disco. ‘Super Awake’ boasts cowbell-sporting Chicago house beats and acid house inspired bass, on to which he’s layered all manner of colourful synth sounds, jangly piano stabs and spacey electronics. Throw in some typically immersive chords and progressively more psychedelic TB-303 motifs, and you have a genuinely triumphant conclusion to a formidably floor-focused EP.
