Miles Davis and Illuminati! (MUMBO JUMBO)
Fabio Rojas
After reading "Foucault's Pendulum" , I just realized that
Miles Davis had taken control of the Illuminati by the
early 1970's. It may sound crazy but here's my reasoning,
as everyone knows from the documentary book "Mumbo Jumbo",
the Bavarian Illuminati had been trying to bring down
jazz for many years. The evil Wall Flowers successfully
ended the Swing Era but they were totally taken by
surprise by the bebop revolution. Despite this astounding
comeback of groove and then cool, they Templars
were not totally routed. They regrouped and eventually
deployed a stunning counter-attack called "rock"
which took the Bebop/Cool Coalition by surprise.
What happened after this is not so clear. Somehow,
General Miles Davis formaulted a brilliant final
assault whose main thrust was incorporating the
Illuminati into the Bebop/Cool coalition. Was it
successful? Well look at the tital of the 1975
album "Agarta". What is Agarta? AS readers of
"Foucault's Pendulum", Agarta is a magical place
revered by the Templars. When one of the most hip dudes
in jazz is able to incorporate the name of the
special place of Illuminati into an album title,
have it issued and then parade it around that is
Miles saying "We have won. Our music will never
die. I have usurped them. This album is our
trophy."
It's all so clear...

I love this stuff! Do you have some more? I know it looks easy to
indulge in this type of surreal conspiracy theory type of writing, but
it requires a lot of work, imagination and being an erudite. The only
thing that stick like a sore thumb is the J.F.K. and Nixon reworked
stories. Stop it please!

: Are you nuts or something?
Actually, I think Fabio is doing a service by pointing out Miles'
behind-the-scenes power in jazz. It's widely known that Miles
destroyed jazz musically, by introducing electricity into the
music, and it's even fairly well known how he forced everyone else
to use electricity as well. (Compromising photographs, threats of
physical force.... it's a sordid story.)
But Miles' other offstage shenanigans are less well known. Consider
the following heretofore unexplained phenomena:
*Membership list of the Pulitzer board that rejected Ellington's special
prize in 1965: M. Dewey Davis
David Miles
Dewey Davidson
*Mingus was evicted from his loft for non-payment of rent (documented
on film). A recently unearthed photograph shows a blurry figure in
the offices of his landlords making off with a rent check. The only
detail that can be clearly distinguished in the photograph? The thief
is wearing a green shirt.
*Found in Miles' papers (recently donated to the Toejam Jawallaby Inst.
for Jazz Studies): a ticket stub for the East River ferry, dated 1970.
*A fan reports that, the night after Chet Baker had his teeth knocked
out, Miles appeared to be having difficulty flexing his right hand
on some of the faster pieces.
*Finally.... The Atlantic tape storage warehouse burned down. Miles
never recorded for atlantic. Can we dismiss this as coincidence?
There are, of course, innumerable further examples. Fabio is very
brave for broaching the subject.

It was reparted here a few years back that Chet's teeth were knocked
out in a bar fight with Jon Anderson, the manly singer for Yes.

I missed the original post. It sounds very entertaing. If
someone has a copy could you please repost or mail it to me?

And the fact that Zawinul recorded for Atlantic right after leaving Miles'
band...?-)
This is fun (but bears no relation to reality),

Well, actually, ATLANTIC recorded Miles Davis in sixteen track, live in Ann
Arbor Michigan on 9/10/72. Michael Cuscuna was in charge of the recording.
COLUMBIA had Miles under contract and wouldn't permit the release of the
record, so ATLANTIC is sitting on a gold mine. According to Jan Lohmann,
there is a private tape in circulation containing part of what ATLANTIC has
in the vault. The details on the private tape are:
Davis, Carlos Garnett, Cedric Lawson, Reggie Lucas, Khalil Balakrishna, Mike
Henderson, Al Foster, Badal Roy, Mtume.

It all sounds more like the missing chapter to a Pychon novel
than anything by Eco. We know all about you Berkeley people and your
Pychon-ghost-writing league, you know...

Well, not to burst your bubble (which floats along quite nicely) but
Agartha is a city/citystate/country in the Tibetan Buddhism mythos
(Buddhism in general? Not sure) hidden in the Himalayas, or under the
earth, or on another plane entirely perhaps. Shamballah is the other
mythical placename of great import-- either they are two warring
cities/etc., or one is the capital city of the other. Ascended
Master-types are said to reside here, venturing out periodically to
psionically dictate to Mme. Blavatsky or Frater Perdurabo or the like.
I'm sure the Templars made reference to it, but there's plenty of
weirdness in the exoteric Tib. Budd. explanations (which are certainly
the source) to keep one happily paranoid.
