[Ahmed] - the quartet of Pat Thomas, Antonin Gerbal, Joel Grip, and Seymour Wright - make music of heavy rhythm, repetition, and syncopation set deep into an understanding of jazz and the obscure depths of it's history. Across the two LPs which make up Super Majnoon [East Meets West] the group work and rework the music of the late musician Ahmed Abdul-Malik to create a stamping, swinging, relentlessly propulsive record where profundity and physicality root right back to ecstatic feeling. Abdul-Malik was a NYC bassist, oudist, composer, educator, and philosopher who fused aspects of American, Arabic, and East African thought, ethics, meanings, and beliefs in open and experimental ways to make vital, forward leaning jazz. [Ahmed] reimagine the notes of Malik as they push for the trajectory of free jazz to emerge from the clichés and cloy neo-classicisms of current "improvised music". Melodies respirate, swell, escalate, and combust in a driving jazz which yes is technical, yes is accomplished, but ultimately just foot-to-the-floor swings. Super Majnoon [East Meets West] is a title fused from the leader of the Master Musicians of Jajouka Bechir Attar's description of [Ahmed] after hearing them in Switzerland last year (Majnoon is the Arabic slang for "crazy"), and Abdul-Malik's 1959 album East Meets West. Arriving as a double-LP, the first comprises studio recordings of [Ahmed] at Hong Kong's Empty Gallery in 2018 and the second a scorched live recording at OTO from August 2018. The record features photos by Bert Glinn and Taku Unami and "in and out" liner notes by James G. Spady - historian and journalist from Philadelphia. "When a musician plays, he should paint a picture," said Malik, "he should portray wind, movement, war, the universe - and after he finishes, he should be able to repeat in words what he has just said in music. The Man I Love - things have all been said before - over and over again. The reason people don't come to concerts is that they're used to the sounds." To guard against this "stagnation", said Malik, jazz must branch out, experiment, fight the inbreeding that is now it's won't. Musicians must stop looking inward, and instead, open their eyes to the imaginations of other cultures. Malik interviewed by Bob Gannon in Metronome 1958. [Ahmed] is: Pat Thomas - piano; Antonin Gerbal - drums; Joel Grip - bass; Seymour Wright - alto saxophone.

Love these shelves! They are sturdy, easy to install, and perfect for organizing bathroom essentials. I used them above the toilet, and they fit perfectly in a small space. They helped me keep things organized while also adding a modern and decorative touch. Great quality and very functional. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom without taking up extra space!

Pirate ship shelves bathroom - perfect!
Color: C. Rustic Brown Board & Black Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch, Color: C. Rustic Brown Board & Black Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch
Love these shelves! I ordered them to match my "pirate ship" bathroom theme. They are solid and the wood is finished on all sides. My husband had no issue installing them. The only thing he found odd was the 15/64 drill bit it recommended. That's an odd size. The shelves look great and hold all on my stuff really well!

Amazing little shelves
Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch, Color: G. Black Board & Gold Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch
I love them! I use them in my nail room for clients and to hold my product. They are sturdy enough to put phones, keys, and their water bottles on. Being able to hang them in different ways is awesome for different aesthetics.4 different sizes. Easy to put together it came away with all the hardware you need. My only complaint is that the wood fills rough so not really able to dust them. I have to fix that

Awesome little shelves!

These shelves are actually pretty neat. Super easy to install with provided hardware and measurement paper. It's the perfect size for For smaller collections and even some frames if you wanted. I enjoyed the different styles to choose from when it comes to personal preference. Comes in three sizes for all your decor needs. Wasn't as thin as I thought it would be, now the feel isn't the greatest, but the look is pretty sweet. Held up just fine and the placement for the brackets are pretty cool. Either floating, bracket facing up or down. ideal for anyone who wants a nice looking shelf without breaking the wallet.

They hang easy!

I got my shelves well packaged. No defects. I did find it odd that the photos show a third way of hanging them where the brackets are hidden, but it's the only two top shown in the product photo of the hanging options that are shown on the instructions. It's easy enough anyway to hang without any instructions and I chose the second one shown anyway. They're good quality and look nice on my wall. Color is accurate and holds all my stuff the way I'd hoped/imagined. I wanted shelves that didn't stick out too far from the wall and they're a great fit. Super sturdy!
