LP version. 180 gram vinyl; includes download. In the sweltering North-Eastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco lies the coastal city of Recife, Amaro Freitas is pioneering the new sound of Brazilian jazz. From the Afro-Brazilian maracatu born on the sugar plantations of slavery, to the high intensity carnival rhythms of frevo and baião, the young pianist's heavily percussive approach to jazz is as indebted to these Pernambuco traditions as it is to Coltrane, Parker, and Monk. As with many of the greats before him, Amaro began playing piano in church aged 12, under the instruction of his father, leader of the church band. He won a place at the prestigious Conservatório Pernambucano de Música but had to drop out as his family could not spare the money for the bus fare. Undeterred, Amaro gigged in bands at weddings and worked in a call center to fund his tuition. The transformative moment came at age 15 when Amaro stumbled across a DVD of Chick Corea concert. Despite not actually owning a piano, Amaro devoted himself to studying day and night. By the age of 22 Amaro was one of the most sought-after musicians in Recife and resident pianist at the legendary jazz bar, Mingus. He met and begun collaborating with bassist Jean Elton and the found drummer Hugo Medeiros. The Amaro Freitas Trio was born. "I want to show the simplicity of music, to break the stigma that the piano is for a particular social class." Following his critically acclaimed debut album Sangue Negro ("Black Blood"), the title of his sophomore release Rasif is a colloquial spelling of Amaro's home town. A love letter to his native northeast, Amaro explores it's traditional rhythms through the jazz idiom, employing complex mathematical patterns reminiscent of some of the most challenging works by fellow Brazilian masters Hermeto Pascoal, Egberto Gismonti, and Moacir Santos. "Dona Eni" is a scorching reconstruction of the baião rhythmic structure, played in seven measures instead of two. Title track "Rasif" is a serene homage to the coastal reef and it's ecosystems. "Aurora" is a suite of three parts, representing the sun's journey from the light and soft of the rise. Personnel: Amaro Freitas - piano; Hugo Medeiros - drums and percussion; Jean Elton - double bass; Henrique Albino - baritone sax, flutes, and clarinet.

Source Naturals Melatonin is the best!
My husband and I have been using Source Naturals Melatonin for almost 25 years. I have tried a few other brands, and I definitely think Source Naturals is the best! I once saw a program on Discovery channel about how Melatonin is an important heart antioxidant, and that after age 40 the Melatonin in our system goes way down. We had also just moved to a high altitude town, and I was having great difficulty sleeping because of the high altitude. We started taking Source Naturals Melatonin, and I was able to sleep like a baby. I really recommend the time release especially, and we also take a 1 mg sublingual lozenge to fall asleep more quickly.

The Three (3) Pillars of my bedrock testimony have been destroyed
Format: Paperback
Having been born and reared in the Church, it was not merely a "church," but it was "The Only True Church on the Face of the Earth." It was my identity, I served a misson, Branch President, H.P., Stake Mission President, sending my son on his mission next week, so imagine my sense of betrayal, and the helplessness and confusion I felt after reading this book. My three (3) pillars were: (1) a young man may spawn a lie, for personal motivations, but he can still be a Prophet, and nobody would carry a lie so far as to be killed for it; (2) No man could have written the Book of Mormon; and (3) the Temple Ceremony is so sacred and unusual that it could not have been imagined or contrived. Well, this most carefully documented, carefully written, carefully researched book, has all but destroyed my pillars. Fawn Brodie, Niece of the Prophet, David O. McKay, has done meticulous research and I have searched for but never found or read an official LDS Church response or debunking of it; I've searched the BYU F.A.R.M.S. site hoping for an academic, honest review of her evidence and hoping to find that Ms. Brodie's research was flawed or dishonest. But despite my motivations and wide-spread search, I have never read a criticism of her sources, or documented proof that her research is false, or that her conclusions are false, only that she had an agenda and some of her conclusions are specious and not well supported. Well, that is simply disengenuous criticism. To say that Ms. Brodie can only prove "A, B, C, and D," but "jumps" to a conclusion that "E" exists, is simply blind faith ignorance and dishonest academia. This book constitutes the "mysteries," that the Church teaches its members to stay away from. But it is hardly a mystery. This book explains with a clarity and insight never-before heard by an LDS member, how Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon, how he practiced polygamy before receiving the alleged revelation; why he was tarred and feathered; exactly where the Temple signs and symbols came from; the extent Joseph would go to protect his power and authority, and many more "mysteries." No active member of the Church should read this book lest their eyes be opened. It hurts! Truth is not pleasant sometimes, why should it be. I just wanted it "straight," I didn't want to be lied to any longer. If the Church simply said, "we're a good church, doing good deeds, helping the poor, please give your tithes to help us, I would most certainly go. But the Church says, "we are the only true and living church on the face of the earth." To me, that's a challenge to find out for myself, which I did. Now, I am a "mormon in recovery." My entire belief system, every single word I've ever been taught, is a lie. I am undone. Now I must look to God, for answers that I thought only the LDS Church had.
