marion brown's geechie recollections - recorded today and tomorrow 1973 at intermedia sound boston. (horsemouth has no idea which tracks were recorded on which days or if there are any unreleased tracks from the session. there should be a tokalokaloka pt.1 but it isn't on the album).
so what do the titles mean?
once upon a time (a children's tale) has that 6/8ey african percussion thing going on (but also a curiously charles mingus horn chant).
karintha (lyrics by jean toomer, narration bill hasson). come to think of it as he listens to it horsemouth is reminded of mingus.
buttermilk bottom - an area of atlanta (now demolished).
introduction well it's an introduction
tokalokaloka (pt. 2) once again horsemouth had not noticed that there's no part 1. toca in spanish is to touch, tap or play. loca in spanish is crazy. horsemouth guesses it is a mnemonic for remembering a drum rhythm.
tokalokaloka (pt. 3)
ending by leo smith. well it's an ending.
listening to some more leo smith at the mo. it's bloody great! horsemouth has only done the first track (improv trio) thereafter the band is augmented by more trumpet players and then by charlie haden on bass.
a wednesday. that makes it a 'take the bins down' day (R for recycling horsemouth believes).
