Fabular Arcana

"Barack Hussein Obama at Selma: The Bridge of Transformation” is the fourth movement from Wadada Leo Smith’s Sapphire Symphony – The Presidents and Their Vision for America. Sapphire Symphony No. 4 is the fourth in his 4-CD box set The Chicago Symphonies featuring Smith's Great Lakes Quartet.

This track features Wadada Leo Smith’s Great Lakes Quartet:
Wadada Leo Smith - trumpet
Jonathon Haffner - alto and soprano saxophones
John Lindberg - double bass
Jack DeJohnette - drums


The Chicago Symphonies represents another magnificent four-disc collection of extended compositions by composer, musician, artist and educator Smith leading his Great Lakes Quartet in a celebration of Chicago and the rich contributions of the Midwestern artistic, musical and political culture to the United States of America. The first three symphonies, “Gold,” “Diamond” and “Pearl” are performed by Smith with three other contemporary masters of creative music, saxophonist/flutist Henry Threadgill, bassist John Lindberg and drummer Jack DeJohnette. The fourth, “Sapphire Symphony – The Presidents and Their Vision for America,” features saxophonist Jonathon Haffner with Smith, Lindberg and DeJohnette.

“The idea of a symphony composed for a sextet was first presented by composer/ performer Don Cherry in his classic recording Symphony For Improvisers in 1966,” says Smith. “I have broadened this idea to include the social, political and psychological dynamic into the creative space. My Chicago Symphonies are intended to illustrate and preserve the powerfully unique cultural contribution that the Midwesterners made in helping to shape the American society.”

kapyo x artikko - pasionaria

My love’s warmest smile 
Is ruby-sunshine
My love’s juvenile 
Innocence divine

She whispers me words
So secret and kind 
What I’ve never heard
I’m lucky to find… her…

(Counterpoint section)

She makes time for me
Opposites of habit
And that’s the reason
Relationships quit

My love’s enticing
Is golden-rosy
My love’s inviting  
Virtuous lovely 

She gives the best gift
Her time and her thought
When I need a lift
She does what she ought

She goes out of her way
Opposites of habit
To serve and to guide
To listen and try

(Counterpoint)

Each time with her is time
I want to live again
Each time our season
That fades from where and when

Her touch is infectious
So full of affection
Such potent confection 
It counts as refection  

She makes time for me
So many wonderful, beautiful, diverse opposites of habit!
Inspired by her efforts
I must make us better

(Counterpoint)

My love’s inspiring
My love’s inviting  
She’s strong and she chooses
My love is my muses

She makes time for me
Opposites of habit
Inspired by her efforts
I must make us better

It’s the good she deserves
It’s the good she’s earned
All the adoration 
I have to offer
And all of the time 
That I can proffer
And ev’ry last song
Deep in my stirred heart
Is hers all along 
And thus my shared art
Is the resistance,
To old ways and cold ways,
My gift to her existence,
And I am in love always!!!

Jake Meginsky
Gates and Variations
Open Mouth LP
OM52

Gates and Variations rounds out a loose trilogy of records by Jake Meginsky for Open Mouth. Not an intended trilogy on Jakes part but it has become one to my mind. It has come to be how I listen to them and experience them, all informing each other, echoing and challenging each other and growing into each others space and light like a garden of plants that would never actually coexist anywhere in reality. Jake is always tirelessly reaching for something new yet I'd avoid using the word progression here. It instead feels to me like the last piece of a puzzle, or of a world created by some Jack Kirby demigod. Something has been completed and now all the pieces are interchangeable. The first can go last. The middle can be first. The whole thing becoming a universe looping in on itself with a multitude of entry points and not a lot of exits. These are dense environments where sections can move from microscopic to macroscopic, day to night and back again,  so effortlessly that its hard to tell if its intended or if something imperceptible within  you shifted the locus of yr perception. But it is all very intentional, something carefully carved to give the feeling of something, though unfamiliar and strange, organic and grown. Theres a sense of danger here like warning transmissions, concussive roiling rhythms and jagged disturbances. Yet also clear straight lines giving way to enveloping curve and staggering beauty. Supplant the beginning with the end with the beginning
