"Interstellar Space" 52 years ago today !

52 years ago today Rashied Ali and Coltrane met at  the door of Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, as they did many times before.
But this time something was not completely the same. No one else was there. No signs of Alice no signs of Jimmy .
Rashied knew at that moment that it was going to be just Trane and him in the room.
No indications were given to the drummer about form, mood, tempo.
Rashied later recalled he asked "Is this going to be slow like a ballad?’ or ‘Is this going to be in a certain time, like 3/4 or 4/4?’ … Because, you know, he would just ring the bells, pick up his horn and start playing.”

Coltrane had complete confidence in Rashied's listening awareness and playing ability: “I can really choose just about any direction at just about any time in the confidence that it will be compatible with what he’s doing,”he said .
The name of the tunes relate to the planets from the Zodiac circle. a subject Coltrane cherished and explored for a long time.

 The result is a marvelous recording that inspired a lot of other playing for the sax/drums duo.
Celebrating 52 of  Coltrane / Ali "Interstellar Space" this post is on the previous and following recordings of saxophone and drums duets.
A bold, naked, hipnotic sound that fascinates me since I discover "Interstellar Space" on the long gone days of 1975

====================================
The Portuguese had a brutal record in the Americas as a colonial power. The most horrendous abuses occurred in the colony of Brazil: natives were enslaved, murdered, tortured and raped in the conquest and early part of the colonial period and later they were disenfranchised and excluded from power. Individual acts of cruelty are too numerous and dreadful to list here. Portuguese Conquistadors in Brazil reached levels of cruelty that are nearly inconceivable to modern sentiments.

Today, Portugal is the Biggest Racist country that i have ever lived in. I feared for my life there and i consider myself lucky that my family got out alive! I have never lived in such poverty (Sopas dos Pobres everyday) 40% unemployment rate and 60% of the population earn less than $932 USD per month, and that’s considered Middle Class here! Within the European Union it is the worst of the worst place to live in.

The bottom line is the bulk of the People in the poor country of Portugal exist in a brainless comma that is fed by Ignorance, anti-Spanish hate, and severe Racism of pretty much everybody that isn’t Portuguese! And, Portugal started the Global Slave Trade in 1441 so it is definitely NOT a safe place for Blacks!!

I found important websites that explain the Severe multi-generational Racism and Hate that exist in Portugal today, and i highly encourage all to read them and spread the word in order to avoid innocent, and desperate people from living or visiting there. Get educated on the Truths about Racist Portugal now.
