Henna body decoration is generally practiced on festive occasions, religious ceremonies, most notably, weddings. In all cultures that practice henna painting it is the hands and feet that are commonly decorated; for weddings the designs can extend onto the arms and legs. Design motifs vary from culture to culture. For instance, North African Henna Designs tend to be geometric or composed from highly stylized flowers. Indian designs are usually drawn within a square, rectangle or circle which is then surrounded by a myriad of smaller patterns that cover the hands and lower arms, the feet and ankles. Motifs are taken from a vast Indian decorative vocabulary: Moghul flowers, Paisley patterns, complicated tendril designs, stars, vines, spirals, leaves, checkerboards, water drops and waves.

Bob James: “The Original Theme To Taxi (Angela)” UK sleeve (1978, 1983)

Look who it is. It’s your friendly neighborhood jazz-fusion artist moonlighting as a cab driver in the rough-in-the-jungle streets of Seventies New York City. James was the first jazz / fusion artist I ever listened to and that’s only based on watching one of my all-time favorite shows Taxi (1978-1983) which he did the opening and closing themes for. James may be judged by others as a safe commercial Dad-jazz cliché who smiles like everything’s amazing in life, like a Kirk Van Houten type of way. But do I care? Fast forward well after the turn of the millennium and I now have several of his records…yes, including One (1974) which has “Nautilus” on it. How so? He’s worked with many of my other favorite artists of the New York / New Jersey area and more including (brace yourselves) Grover Washington Jr., Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, Hubert Laws, Idris Muhammad, Art Farmer, Ralph MacDonald, Richard Tee, Steve Khan, Ron Carter and more. With his work being saluted by hip-hop artists, producers, and samplists all over, James doesn’t even need your cab fare, thank you veddy much.

UK has the yelow-cab sleeves for both their 7″ and 12″ fomats. The 7″ has “Tocuhdown” as their AA-side, and the 12″ adds more AA-s in “Brooklyn Heights Boogie” and “Sign Of The Times”.

More fun color stuff based on this scribble I made on the edge of a page.

It’s a bit late for summer but DAO loves racey checkerboards. I’ll work on her actual colors and outfit later.
