The JGC History series features specifically curated playlists to help trace the lineage of some of the most influential jazz compositions of all time.

Some notes about the composition from the JGC Real Book,

Composer: Dizzy Gillespie

Year: 1942

Origin: Introduced by Sarah Vaughan in 1944 as "Interlude".

Style: A combination of straight and swing feels, typically played at brighter tempos.

Form: A-A-B-A (32 Bars) [8-8-8-8]
The A sections are played straight with the exception of the final 2 bars, while the B section is swung. This arrangement commonly used for the head only with the solo section entirely swung.

Intro: The bassline that moves from bII7 - Imi6 is usually used to begin the performance, and there is also a counter-melody that goes along with it.

Send-off: After the head in a 12 bar send-off is used to lead into the solos. This is then followed by a solo break which is commonly 4 bars long. It is typically only used the first time around, although it is sometimes used to introduce every new soloist. This section is played entirely swung.

Shout Chorus: After all the melodic soloists are finished a shout chorus is sometimes included. The shout played during the A sections while the B section is left open to the drummer. Sonny rollins offers a concise interpretation of this arrangement on his recording from A Night at the Village Vanguard.

Key: D minor

Harmony/Overview: The harmony of this composition is mainly functional. The main theme revolves around the constant arrival of bII7 - Imi, which is essentially V7alt - Imi (tri-tone substitution). The bridge is identical to that of "Alone Together", taking place in the relative Major and moving from II - V of II before a II - V - I.

Recordings: This song has been recorded over 400 times to date and is a widely popular standard. The first recording comes from Sarah Vaughan in 1944 and was originally entitled "Interlude", featuring lyrics written by Sarah Vaughan and Anita O'Day. One of the earliest instrumental recordings of Dizzy Gillespie performing the piece comes a 1945 session with Boyd Raeburn and his Orchestra. Dizzy would later record and perform this piece many times throughout his career, leaving several particularly legendary recordings behind.

The Vernon Johns Story [1994]

An adaptation of the life and times of Dr. Vernon Johns, ⁣the Pastor who preceded Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as the head of the congregation at ⁣ Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. ⁣ In Stride Toward Freedom, his memoir of the Montgomery bus boycott, King described Johns as “a brilliant preacher with a creative mind” and “a fearless man, [who] never allowed an injustice to come to his attention without speaking out against it” (King, 38). King found an example in Johns, a preacher who was able to use his religious position in the community to challenge his congregation to be less provincial.

In this conversation from Ghana, Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon, Nataki Kambon, and Kala Kambon break down major changes to Ghana’s citizenship requirements and what those changes mean for historic diasporans who have repatriated (or are preparing to).They explain how a once streamlined pathway has shifted into a process with steep new costs and new hurdles, including concerns about fairness, representation, and whether these policies align with the long-stated spirit of “return” and reparative justice.Key points discussedThe previous administrative fee of 1,500 Ghana cedis (about $150) vs. the new $2,500 (about 25,000 Ghana cedis) citizenship feeRequirements and obstacles being reported (including concerns about proof of ties, residency, clearances, and language standards)Why the historic diaspora is a uniquely impacted group, and why “a seat at the table” mattersThe organizing response: 14 diaspora organizations, a press conference/town hall, and engagement with government officialsHow this shift impacts not just individuals, but also job creation, investments, retirees, and families building long-term futures in GhanaWhat you can do nextStay informed / get updateshttps://www.repatriatetoghana.comWebsite: https://decadeofourrepatriation.comJoin the newsletter via the form on the site.Text for more information (TEXT ONLY)+1 301 244 9072Text your name, phone number, email address, plus the words: “Ghana citizenship”(They advised: do not call—text only.)Chapters (timestamps)0:00 – Greetings from Ghana + why this matters now3:30 – What the old process looked like6:00 – Fee increase explained (cedis ↔ USD)8:30 – Concerns about “ties,” proof, and fairness14:00 – Organizing response + town hall / press conference24:00 – Requesting answers + meeting with government37:00 – Economic impact: jobs, businesses, investments41:00 – Caller question: U.S. politics and dual citizenship discussion46:00 – How to get updates and stay connectedNote: This discussion reflects what the speakers were seeing and responding to in real time.

On Saturday, 24 January 2026 (2:00 PM GMT), Abibitumi Headquarters (1 Abibitumi Way, Akuapem Mampɔn, Eastern Region, Ghana) hosted a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing and the unveiling of the Black Panther Party Cubs (BPPC) Ghana Community Embassy / Continental Liaison Office.This event is about REPATRIATION (not “reparations” in the conventional sense). The purpose of the BPPC Community Embassy is to serve as a structured point of contact on the continent—providing reception, orientation, and practical pathways for BPPC members and families (and aligned networks) who want to repatriate to Ghana and beyond through values-aligned support.IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION (for accurate reporting):Some early coverage mistakenly framed this event as the unveiling of Abibitumi as the UNIA embassy. That UNIA Embassy was established under a separate MoU signed in 2025 between the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), Abibitumi, and RepatriateToGhana.com (R2GH). Saturday’s event (24 Jan 2026) was specifically the BPPC Community Embassy unveiling under a new MoU.Reference (UNIA 2025 MoU coverage):https://www.myjoyonline.com/un....ia-signs-mou-with-ab & run of show:The program opened with mini-documentaries on Chairman Fred Hampton Sr. and the continued work of Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. This provided context for why Chairman Fred Hampton Sr. (posthumously) and Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. received citation awards at the Abibitumi Conference and Abibifahodie Festival 2025, prior to Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr.’s arrival.Key themes highlighted during the event included:• 60 years of the Black Panther Party (founded 1966)• 20 years of Abibitumi (founded 2006)• 100 years of Black History Month (originating 1926)• Major Black world events in years ending in “26,” reinforcing a long historical arc beyond a single country or single date• D.O.O.R. (Decade of Our Repatriation), framed as “self-reparations” through repatriation and nation-building actionThe D.O.O.R. initiative—spearheaded by Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon and endorsed by the Office of the President (Diaspora Affairs Office) and the Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC)—focuses on practical repatriation outcomes (citizenship pathways, housing, integration, and economic opportunities). This self-reparations framework complements (but is distinct from) externally-directed reparations efforts pursued in the conventional sense by other actors, including President Mahama in his A.U.-linked reparations role and Hon. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah.Venue: Abibitumi Headquarters, 1 Abibitumi Way, Akuapem Mampɔn, GhanaPress / Media: pa@abibitumi.com | +233 54 502 8875Registration page: https://abibitumi.com/BlackPantherPartyCubsMore info on D.O.O.R. https://www.decadeofourrepatriation.com#Abibitumi #blackpantherpartycubs #repatriation #door #blackhistorymonth #fredhampton #ghana #panafricanism

In the DRC’s capital city, wrestling has helped an extraordinary woman to escape the violent streets on which she grew up.

As a fighter, Shaki is an inspiration for dozens of street children, and her home has become a refuge for girls trying to escape the thugs, rapists, and pimps of Kinshasa’s slums.

BBC Africa Eye follows Shaki as she steps into the wrestling ring, fights to give her daughter a chance in life, and takes on other women who have very different ideas about how to raise teenage girls.

This video offers a presentation of the concept of religion according to the understanding the Kôngo people had of this notion before their encounter with the Europeans.

Religion was understood as n'kisi nsi, the use of n'kisi as divine spirits to empower human beings in order to enable them to fight the evil effects of demonic spirits.

The kôngo concept of n'kisi means spirit and power. It alludes first to God, the Most High, and to holy ancestors as animating spirits and protecting power surrounding human beings. This implies that the concept of n'kisi is alike the Igbo concept of Chi and the Yoruba concept of Ase.

It is thus anomalous to reduce the meaning of n'kisi to the Western concept of fetish.

The ideas exposed in this video were taken in our book titled BUKÔNGO which can be found at

Our steamed elder, Mama Marimba Ani addresses the crowd during the closing remarks of the National Race 1st Convention in Baltimore, Maryland, 2025.

In this powerful address, Mama Marimba Ani calls us to recapture the tradition of African sovereignty that was lost when leadership lost vision and accommodation replaced determination.

She reminds us that:
𓅃𓇴 We are at war for our people — a matter of life and death.
𓅃𓇴 African people cannot find safety in systems built by our oppressors — true security is only through African power.
𓅃𓇴 Our children must be raised as leaders, visionaries, and protectors, prepared for sovereignty worldwide.
𓅃𓇴 Liberation is not a weekend activity — it must become a way of life.

This message is more than words — it’s a call to organize, unify, and build systems that ensure our future. 💚❤🖤

🌍 African sovereignty is not optional — it is our path to survival and victory.
