This wiki needs a jazz page. It will very likely grow. The name of this page is taken from Oakland-based Ishmael Reed's 1972, Mumbo Jumbo, which conjures "a centuries-old battle between two shadow forces: a group representing European institutional order and Jes Grew, a virus/movement/pleasure-seeking principle originating among black artists."[1]

  • What do you think that this Jes Grew is up to?
  • It’s up to its Text. For some, it’s a disease, a plague, but in fact it is an anti-plague. You will recall, Black Herman, that in the past there were germs that avoided words.[2]

After starting the page, I learned of Conjure's "Jes' Grew".

Pharaoh Sanders, Karma, "The Creator Has a Master Plan"
In the BFE 2000 version you still hear the Armistad,
as you do in the Roman theatre in Vienne (2011)
"Jump Around Sound", Budapest (2008)
Floating Point, Pharaoh Sanders & the LSO

(Note: People are speaking of these promised movements in hushed, even churchy tones :D )
