Sun Ra: We Travel the Spaceways/Bad and Beautiful
by Matthew Wuethrich
This Evidence re-issue package, like a large portion of the others, captures different aspects of the late '50s/early '60s Arkestra in transition. The first seven tracks comprise We Travel the Spaceways, recorded in Chicago between 1956 and 1960 at a variety of sessions. The second group of seven tunes were originally released as Bad and Beautiful, ...
Sun Ra: Holiday for Soul Dance
by Matthew Wuethrich
Holiday for Soul Dance testifies to not only Sun Ra’s originality, but also his courage when making stylistic decisions. This album, believed to be recorded sometime around 1958, casts Ra in the role of the traditionalist as the Arkestra interpret a batch of time-honored (and time-worn) standards. Surprisingly, this role fits better than one might expect. ...
Sun Ra: Angels and Demons at Play/The Nubians of Plutonia
by Matthew Wuethrich
If you try to track the development of Sun Ra's music on record, you will inevitably run up against numerous difficulties. Both chronologically and stylistically, his oeuvre contains anachronisms, false trails, mistakes and just plain weirdness. Evidence's re-issue package of the two Saturn albums, Angels and Demons at Play/The Nubians of Plutonia represents exactly these problems. ...
Sun Ra and His Arkestra: Jazz in Silhouette
by Matthew Wuethrich
In the jazz universe, Sun Ra typically travels in an unknown, distant galaxy of his own. He is on the map, but understood and given his proper significance by only a loyal few. Most know his esoteric philosophising, lavish stage shows, and outward-bound music, but those features only scratch the surface of Ra’s music. Recorded in ...
Sun Ra: Lanquidity
by Matthew Wuethrich
1978’s Lanquidity (now re-issued by Evidence) features a silver and purple cover image of Ra that begs the question: Has Sun Ra made a fusion album? This thought at first seems merely ridiculous, then after further consideration becomes a bit surreal, and then upon hearing becomes downright disturbing. As with any Ra project, a simple description ...

Craig Bailey: Brooklyn
by AAJ Staff
Well here is something unusual- a new release on the Evidence label. Those apprised of the label's quality output in the past should take note when they release records as infrequently as they do anymore. But onto the record itself, which has plenty to say for itself. This is the second record by up-and-coming alto player ...
Phil Upchurch: Tell The Truth!
by AAJ Staff
If Phil Upchurch would unroll a list of albums on which he has played, ever since his start in the very early 1960's, it would be as long as his arm--and it would still dangle from his hand for at least the same length again. Always busy as a back-up guitarist, Upchurch's versatility and his ability ...
Phil Upchurch: Tell the Truth!
by Dave Hughes
Phil Upchurch, who has been a highly in-demand session and touring guitarist and bassist for three and a half decades (and released twenty previous albums along the way), has now released one of his most personal and satisfying CDs yet, Tell the Truth. And the title is apt; Upchurch was able to make this album with ...
