Caesura 116 // Nautica
Five links a week (or so). Music, sound, and other noise. Welcome to Edition 116.
Drexciya
“Drexciya, which eschewed media attention and its attendant focus on personality, developed a nautical afrofuturist myth. The group revealed in the sleeve notes to their 1997 album The Quest that "Drexciya" was an underwater country populated by the unborn children of pregnant African women who were thrown off of slave ships; the babies had adapted to breathe underwater in their mothers' wombs.” (wikipedia)

Jamey Aebersold Jazz Handbook (PDF)
