It's not jazz but it's also not NOT jazz

...a unique tropical-industrial combination where avant-garde meets afro-house, and complex sampling and granular synthesis are fully integrated into frenetic live rhythm section... total fusion of electronics and live music and obliteration of divisions between high and low arts, sublime and vulgar works, avant-garde and entertainment, music...

||ALA|MEDA|| is Tomasz Popowski [aka Hegezjasz Heliopoliczny] (drums, percussion), Mikołaj Zieliński [aka Fratello Quetzalcoatl De Miurgos] (bass, synthesizer), Kuba Ziołek [aka Tanguy de Pesticide] (vocals, guitar, synthesizer, sampler), Łukasz Jędrzejczak (synthesizer, electronics), Rafał Iwański (percussion), Jacek Buhl (drums, percussion), Krzysztof Kaliski (guitar), Piotr Michalski (bass)

"You Gotta Have Freedom" starts the album - a significant and celebrated piece in the genre

I don't know what else to say to describe this beyond Title.

Sometimes they hide, sometimes they come back. There is no apparent pattern to this.

Is it rock? Is it jazz? Is it a jam? Yes.

The solo at ~12m15s is madness

Recorded live at "Midsummer Night's Jazz & Rock" held at Hibiya Amphitheater on July 21, 1970

The moderator told me questions like this aren't stupid and they're the point of this community.

I want an answer.

I can drink a 6-cup pot of espresso and immediately have a nap

I can drink pot after pot of espresso every day (i love the taste and comforting warmth) yet if I travel or "miss" my morning coffee it changes nothing about how I feel or my energy level. No cravings ever.

I kind of would like to get the zap of a good caffeine buzz. It sounds like some kind of amazing out-of-body nervous energy

When I was a kid my friends used to love this stuff called "Jolt Cola" that was marketed as having "All the sugar, and twice the caffeine" of regular soda (lol)... I drank can after can of it and never clued into why I thought it was just regular soda, and my friends were going cuckoo berserk on it

It's a weird superpower. I'm also immune to codeine and similar, which I've come to understand are similar molecules... so it seems to explain something to me. I didn't figure any of this out until my mid 30's. Post-dental surgery, emergency visits and similar was always a huge battle because they'd think I was lying when I said the painkillers weren't working, assuming I was drug-seeking

Just talking

The 7th and final Herbie Hancock album under the Blue Note label before moving to Warner Bros. Records. Recorded in 1969 and released 1970

It is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Hancock said he'd been closer to his real self than on any other previous album

Musicians include tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, trumpeter Johnny Coles on flugelhorn, trombonist Garnett Brown, flautist Hubert Laws, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Albert “Tootie” Heath

Hancock praised Laws as one of the finest flautists in classical or jazz music. Krudler agrees.

This will be my final Hancock post for a while. I listened to all 7 today, and posted as I went. I love full albums, but I also love to hear a series of albums and enjoy experiencing the artist grow

Hancock's 6th album is set against the backdrop of social turmoil in the 1960s US

Hancock wanted to picture an upbeat, brighter future, and to rediscover the childhood qualities of purity and spontaneity

Hancock mixes up his front line with Jerry Dodgion on alto flute, Peter Phillips on bass trombone, and Thad Jones on flugelhorn

Ron Carter on bass/rhythm and Mickey Roker on drums
