eugene mcdaniels -- headless heroes

I went looking to see if there was any live video of Bobby Hutcherson/Harold Land/Eugene McDaniels performing this amazing song back in the day. Couldn't find anything, but this cover version by Brian Blade from a KEXP set is pretty cool. They do the song total justice.

Ron Carter - Emmett's Ghost - from Dear America by Eric Bibb - #roncarterbassist

Ron Carter Bassist

There are genuine connections and there's apophenia. A random connection is that I was born in the same year that Emmett Till was brutally murdered, It's the same year that the Reverend George W. Lee was murdered. Emmett Till's mother was influenced to have an open casket by Rev. Lee's wife decision to have an open casket. Those are genuine connections.

Hearing this song my random connection to Emmett Till makes the imagery in the song of his ghost still wandering vivid to me.

I saw the collaboration of Ron Carter with Eugene McDaniels, and the song Reverend Lee, which Roberta Flack performs on her second album. I confused Eugene McDaniels with William S. Fischer, someone who Ron Carter also collaborated with on the album Circles. Fischer was born in Mississippi and almost certainly knew about the Reverend George W. Lee's murder. I do not think there is a connection between Rev. George Lee and the Reverend Lee in McDaniels' song. However there's a vividness in the imagery in the song as a dream in the way that dreams are especially vivid.

I still posted the Zinn Education article on The Reverned George W. Lee's murder, because I was so moved by Diane McWorter's recent essay in The Guardian. The spector of white terror is haunting. We live with ghosts.
