[Ahmed] - the quartet of Pat Thomas, Antonin Gerbal, Joel Grip, and Seymour Wright - make music of heavy rhythm, repetition, and syncopation set deep into an understanding of jazz and the obscure depths of it's history. Across the two LPs which make up Super Majnoon [East Meets West] the group work and rework the music of the late musician Ahmed Abdul-Malik to create a stamping, swinging, relentlessly propulsive record where profundity and physicality root right back to ecstatic feeling. Abdul-Malik was a NYC bassist, oudist, composer, educator, and philosopher who fused aspects of American, Arabic, and East African thought, ethics, meanings, and beliefs in open and experimental ways to make vital, forward leaning jazz. [Ahmed] reimagine the notes of Malik as they push for the trajectory of free jazz to emerge from the clichés and cloy neo-classicisms of current "improvised music". Melodies respirate, swell, escalate, and combust in a driving jazz which yes is technical, yes is accomplished, but ultimately just foot-to-the-floor swings. Super Majnoon [East Meets West] is a title fused from the leader of the Master Musicians of Jajouka Bechir Attar's description of [Ahmed] after hearing them in Switzerland last year (Majnoon is the Arabic slang for "crazy"), and Abdul-Malik's 1959 album East Meets West. Arriving as a double-LP, the first comprises studio recordings of [Ahmed] at Hong Kong's Empty Gallery in 2018 and the second a scorched live recording at OTO from August 2018. The record features photos by Bert Glinn and Taku Unami and "in and out" liner notes by James G. Spady - historian and journalist from Philadelphia. "When a musician plays, he should paint a picture," said Malik, "he should portray wind, movement, war, the universe - and after he finishes, he should be able to repeat in words what he has just said in music. The Man I Love - things have all been said before - over and over again. The reason people don't come to concerts is that they're used to the sounds." To guard against this "stagnation", said Malik, jazz must branch out, experiment, fight the inbreeding that is now it's won't. Musicians must stop looking inward, and instead, open their eyes to the imaginations of other cultures. Malik interviewed by Bob Gannon in Metronome 1958. [Ahmed] is: Pat Thomas - piano; Antonin Gerbal - drums; Joel Grip - bass; Seymour Wright - alto saxophone.

Pineapple sunshine
Size: 7" XL-Large
Reviewing this after nearly 4 years. I got this for my dog (sadly has passed away), and this was one of her favorite toys. It didn't squeak but the shape and size was what she loved. Big enough she could chomp on in it and I didn't need to worry about her choking. Small enough she could carry it in her mouth when she wanted to play. This is a durable rubber/rubber-like material, I'd compare it to Kong toys, excellent for a dog who loves to chew and needs a toy that can endure their bite.

The only toy my dog has not destroyed.
Size: 7" XL-Large
This is the only toy my dog has not destroyed. He absolutely loves his pineapple, and has figured out a trick to get the treats out. He has destroyed kong toys left and right, the only damage he has done is he chewed the top off. We just soak and wash it, and refill it. It keeps him occupied and is a great treat.

Our Pup Loves It
Size: 7" XL-Large
Our fur baby usually prefers toys that squeak, but she LOVES her pineapple 🍍 toy! It’s the perfect size, its hardness is strong enough for her to chew but soft enough to flex in her jaws , and doesn’t have a bad odor. For the money, it has been a great value with how it can handle her strong chewing and not break apart.
