I was up in the Pacific Northwest just recently on a bit of a road trip, and with a bit of driving ahead of me I decided to plug my iPod into the deck and listen to Wadada Leo Smith's box "Kabell Years: 1971-1979." Fantastic! This guy is an amazing trumpet player, the music is very interesting and imaginative and the set (at least for me) just seemed so easy to get into. It ranks very high on my recommendation list--if you don't have it already I suggest checking it out! Fortunately, it is in print and very easy to find, two thinks which would nix it from my blog.
Alternatively, I decided to throw on another of his albums, Smith's 1978 recording for ECM "Divine Love," which, based on its used prices on Amazon.com and AllMusic.com, seems to be out of print. This album has an all-star cast, including Charlie Haden on bass and even an appearance by Lester Bowie and Kenny Wheeler. Things on this album really seem to mesh, despite a less than stunning review at AllMusic.com. If you haven't heard it already, I suggest you give it a listen and then go buy the Kabell box!

i grabbed this a few days ago j, but found it more mellow than i could handle at the time - i've kept it for a rainy day so to speak! there's obviously plenty to get into with this musician...
Hey Centrifuge,
Yeah, I know what you mean. As winter is starting to relent, the trees budding, the days growing longer, I too seem to be heading towards some more frenetic music on a regular basis. I guess just a little more energy in the air, huh?
Besides that, though, Smith does have a tremendous amount of interesting stuff to listen to. The more I get into different artists, the more I wonder how I am ever going to have enough time to explore everything! Oh well, I guess it is a good dilemma to have...
Thanks for the comment!

Hi everyone
[url=http://www.internetmosque.net ] A new MP3 CD quality stereo audio Explanation of the Quran [/url]
"What is Islam's presence in the United States?"
It is almost impossible to generalize about American Muslims: converts, immigrants, factory workers, doctors; all are making their own contribution to America's future. This complex community is unified by a common faith, under-pinned by a countrywide network of a thousand mosques.
Muslims were early arrivals in North America. By the eighteenth century there were many thousands of them, working as slaves on plantations. These early communities, cut off from their heritage and families, inevitably lost their Islamic identity as time went by. Today many Afro-American Muslims play an important role in the Islamic community.
The nineteenth century, however, saw the beginnings of an influx of Arab Muslims, most of whom settled in the major industrial centers where they worshiped in hired rooms. The early twentieth century witnessed the arrival of several hundred thousand Muslims from Eastern Europe: the first Albanian mosque was opened in Maine in 1915; others soon followed, and a group of Polish Muslims opened a mosque in Brooklyn in 1928.
In 1947 the Washington Islamic Center was founded during the term of President Truman, and several nationwide organizations were set up in the fifties. The same period saw the establishment of other communities whose lives were in many ways modeled after Islam. More recently, numerous members of these groups have entered the fold of Muslim orthodoxy. Today there are about five million Muslims in America.
Question 27 "How does Islam guarantee human rights ?"
Freedom of conscience is laid down by the Quran itself: 'There is no compulsion in religion'. (2.256)
The life and property of all citizens in an Islamic state are considered sacred whether a person is Muslim or not.
Racism is incomprehensible to Muslims, for the Quran speaks of human equality in the following terms:
'O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly, the most honored of you in God 's sight is the greatest of you in piety. God is All-Knowing, All-Aware'. (49.13)
