Sun Ra: Sun Ra Featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold

Read "Sun  Ra Featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

by Raul d'Gama Rose

Sun Ra featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold is a near mythical document of the astral traveling Arkestra. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, this recording came a year before the now historic and certainly definitive Arkestra records, Heliocentric Worlds Vol. 1 & 2 (ESP, 1965) and Magic City (Saturn, 1965) that came hot on ...

Yoni Kretzmer's New Dilemma: Yoni Kretzmer's New Dilemma

Read "Yoni Kretzmer's New Dilemma" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni

by Eyal Hareuveni

Unlike many young jazz players in Israel, tenor saxophonist Kretzmer chose to broaden his musical education in France, instead of the United States. This appears to have exposed him to a much more varied scene, and a more open and flexible definition of jazz genres. His musical world is rooted in the fusion-meets-progressive rock ...

Read "Sun Ra Arkestra + DKT/MC5 in London" reviewed by Rob Witts

by Rob Witts

Royal Festival Hall London UK25 February 2005The Sun Ra Arkestra take the stage in glittering costumes and outlandish headgear, looking like the house band at a particularly wild Star Trek convention and sounding like nothing else on earth - or indeed on Saturn. Since Sun Ra's death in 1993, the patented mixture of swampy ...

Sun Ra Arkestra: Music for the 21st Century: Live at the Uncool Festival

Read "Music for the 21st Century: Live at the Uncool Festival" reviewed by Ty Cumbie

by Ty Cumbie

Under the capable and deft hand of Marshall Allen, the Sun Ra Arkestra, against all odds, continues to tour and record. The band sounds as good as ever, the costumes and stage antics are still good clean fun, and most Earthlings still haven’t caught up. The Arkestra, an effective mix of elder members ...

Read "It's After The End of The World" reviewed by AAJ Staff

Recorded live at the Donaueschingen Music and Berlin Festivals in 1970, this gem ideally captures Sun Ra and His Intergalactic (Research) Arkestra at its most otherworldly self. Individual and collective sounds reach for ears at times beyond human comprehension. The 21-member Arkestra is anchored by its leader captaining keyboards of various frequencies of inter-planetary communication and ...

Sun Ra Arkestra: Music From Tomorrow's World

Read "Music From Tomorrow's World" reviewed by Jay Collins

by Jay Collins

All of the material on Music From Tomorrow's World, recorded by Sun Ra in Chicago in 1960, is brand new to wax. The first half of the disc, Live At The Wonder Inn , begins with three Ra compositions, the first two featuring the lovely flutes of Marshall Allen and George Hudson (uncredited) over a tranquil, ...
