1971 studio album by Freddie Hubbard and İlhan Mimaroğlu
Sing Me a Song of Songmy İlhan Mimaroğlu ,released in 1971. Principal performers include jazz trumpeterFreddie Hubbard and Mimaroğlu himself.
The piece includes a chorus, strings, recitations of poems byFazil Husnu Daglarca and other texts, organists and tape-basedmusique concrète ,as well as Hubbard's jazz quintet: (tenor saxophonistJunior Cook ,pianistKenny Barron ,bassistArt Booth and drummerLouis Hayes ). It was Hubbard's third album released on theAtlantic label, and is one of his most experimental albums. It is regarded as an example ofexperimental music andmusique concrète .[ 5]
Concept and execution [ edit ] “Songmy” in the album title is a reference to “Son My ”,a village in South Vietnam, the location of the mass murder, rape and mutilation of some 400 unarmed civilians by the US Army during its Vietnam campaign in 1968.[ 6] Kent State shootings ;theTate–LaBianca murders ;theVietnam War ;and the then escalating American protests against the war.
Mimaroğlu used his influence as an executive producer for Atlantic Records to produce an unusually high-budget album of avant-garde music. The music is a fusion of post-bop jazz withmusique concrete ,salted with poetry and text fragments, and united by a generallyanti-war message. The format is that of amontage ,in which there are not always obvious breaks between one section, or one subsection and the next. In the original Atlantic release the gatefold jacket included a collage of material drawn from various books and newspapers, which paralleled the tone of the music. On the whole, the album was not a commercial success, but it has been re-released on CD, and continues to garner positive reviews as an important work of 20th century avant-garde/jazz fusion music.[ 7]
