Harriet Tubman - Ascension (Sunnyside, 2011)
Harriet Tubman's Ascension is an intriguing mix of DJ/dub textures, jazz, sci-fi sound culture and Sun Ra style cosmology. Interesting stuff, definitely along the lines of Sun Ra's late 70's recordings like Lanquidity and Media Dreams and Greg Tate's Burnt Sugar ensemble. It is an interesting feat of collective improvisation and sound-scape making that blends together ...
Harriet Tubman: Ascension
by Raul d'Gama Rose
