Two days later he was in the studio with Miles Davis recording In a Silent Way. The breadth and scope of ...
Dave Soldier: The Eighth Hour Of Amduat
by Roger Farbey
Let's be honest, this extraordinary recording isn't going to float everyone's boat. However, there are a lot of highly praiseworthy elements to be assimilated in this hour long CD. Dave Soldier (real name Dr. Dave Sulzer, a neuroscientist at Columbia University) has assembled an avant-garde jazz opera based on the oldest known musical score (the 8th ...
Calling Ra, Mr. Sun Ra your rocket ship is ready
by Mark Corroto
How prophetic is it that we now live in the second century of Sun Ra's earthly existence? Born (maybe) in Alabama 1914, Herman Poole Blount became the pianist, arranger, band leader, poet, and can we say prophet(?) we know as Sun Ra. He was both a man of his times and a messenger from the space. ...
Jason Stein/Paul Giallorenzo/Frank Rosaly: Hearts & Minds
by Mark Corroto
When the Chicago trio of Jason Stein, Paul Giallorenzo, and Frank Rosaly, known as Hearts & Minds, plays music Sun Ra smiles from somewhere interplanetary. Not that the mighty Ra favored small groups, he mostly worked with his large Arkestra, rather, it's that the wellspring for this 21st century music are his concepts and instrumentation. Sun ...

Sun Ra & His Astro-Ihnfinity Arkestra: The Intergalactic Thing
by Mark Corroto
If you are a Sun Ra devotee, let's not use the terms “fanatic" or “zealot," you probably measure your collection in board feet instead of inches. Unlike many jazz legends of the 1950s, and 1960s, Herman Sonny Blount had the foresight to record his ensemble's rehearsals and concerts. He even established his own label El Saturn ...

Sun Ra Arkestra Under the Direction of Marshall Allen: Babylon
by Mark Corroto
If the recording Babylon is any indication, the second century of Sun Ra's music will be as entertaining as the first hundred years.

Cliff Jordan and John Gilmore: Blowing in From Chicago – 1957
by Marc Davis
Imagine if Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, at the height of their popularity in 1957, invited a couple of sax guys you've never heard of to play with them. The result would be Blowing in From Chicago--a lively, wonderful record firmly in the Blue Note bop tradition. The rhythm section is ...
