I was researching Islam and Jazz when I was writing something on this matter on saxontheweb a saxophone forum where a post appeared on “ favourite muslim sax players” http://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php?176250-Favorite-muslim-saxophone-players.<br /><br />Perhaps you care to contribute to that thread? I wanted to quote your many and interesting ideas on the relationship between Jazz and Islam but it would be better if they would come from the author.<br /><br />Thanks anyway :-) <br /><br />AndréAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512370552480437182.post-36231746467931192692012-03-13T09:54:29.352+11:002012-03-13T09:54:29.352+11:00Holly, Most welcome!Holly, Most welcome!ajnabi1957https://www.blogger.com/profile/09233755392134647787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512370552480437182.post-64639086977321738892012-03-13T09:54:16.228+11:002012-03-13T09:54:16.228+11:00Hammer,

Cool thang is some blawggers are ...Howdy der, dawg.<br />Cool thang is some blawggers are all high on Ahmed Abdul-Malik all again.<br /><br />Azzan (spelled alternately as athan), is not actually music. It's acording to Islamic heritage and tales, a call of prayer that one 'sahabi' (close apprentice or fellow of Prophet Mohammed), had dreamt in a dream. He went to the prophet to tell him what he'd heard, and the prophet agreed to make it the call for Muslims whenever time for one of the five per day prayers came.<br /><br />It has few verses that one should repeat; sometimes twice and some four times. Many music encyclopedias classify it as 'music'. Well, they can do whatever they wish to, but azzan is not based on any musical tunage or scales: it's a verse recited and with time, became mis-uttered by 'muzziens' (the prayer callers), to a very extreme degree. <br /><br />Blues music has its origins, on the other hand in griot poetry, which is again, something that the Mauritanian Moors took from the eastern part of north Africa (namely, Sudan). Blues music wasn't played in America until the slave-meisters began shipping their slaves to and fro, from one coast to another, having given some infectual influences to South American and Caribbean music all along the way. Africa is said to having been the place where the first music instrument was created (the earth bow), and this makes it easier to connect the dots here to get the greater musical map of early world music in general.<br /><br />Lastly, the word Blues itself is said to come from looking at the sky (the blue/blues), while slaves spent their entire time picking cotton as sharecroppers. Through bloodied hands and tearful eyes, I am sure all they could do at that time was to stare at the 'Big Guy Upstairs' and holler at him to just... let them go 'free'. Funny image one can also recollect in mind when it comes to such a bullshack-filled 'cuntry' like America is... how blood (red), sky (blue), and cotton (white) are now the colours of its dumbtarded flag, or however they try to 'big' it up as ptff, Old... Glory? Yeah, sure! Glory my punk ass.<br /><br />Blues music at the purest form ever is the earlier country-blues/grunt-'n'-slide acoustic guitar songs... and nothing feels or sounds like it. If one listens and hears nothing inside, then man, he or she must... no HAS no soul.<br /><br />Today's blues music is a big shit-heap of commercial fuckola. Nothing beats the old masters, son. Not by jumps and leaps.<br /><br />Your post is much preeshed. <br /><br />Rock on.<br /><br />H.H.Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462766826817071023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512370552480437182.post-85682334588200858142012-03-13T01:01:01.749+11:002012-03-13T01:01:01.749+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462766826817071023noreply@blogger.com
