Someone or a people that survives genocide is at once a survivor and victor, hence that stunning incantation of the triumph of life itself on the morrow of overcoming the slaughter, the dehumanisation, the immiseration: “Happy Survival”!
(Clifford Brown & Max Roach Quintet, “Sandu” [personnel: Brown, trumpet, Roach, drums; Harold Land, tenor saxophone, Richie Brown, piano, George Morrow, bass; recorded: EmArchy label, New York, US, 23-25 February 1954)
