Alexander Hawkins Ensemble: No Now Is So
by John Eyles
Pianist Alexander Hawkins is one of the brightest rising young stars of British jazz and improvisation, amply demonstrated by his work in Barkingside, the Convergence Quartet, and the Evan Parker Quartet. Hawkins has technique in abundance and a brain quick enough to make creative use of it. With no obvious stylistic antecedents, he excels in a ...
Sun Ra: Live in Cleveland 1975
by AAJ Italy Staff
Fantastico Sun Ra! Questo concerto registrato a Cleveland nel gennaio del 1975, sebbene la qualità del nastro non sia delle più brillanti, si apre all'insegna del funk-rap più immediato, con il basso elettrico di Dal Williams a sorreggere le voci dei componenti dell'Arkestra in una “Astro Nation" che è gospel cosmico e mantra propiziatorio, stordente come ...
Ronnie Boykins: The Will Come, Is Now
by Jerry D'Souza
Ronnie Boykins is probably best known for being a member of the Sun Ra Arkestra. During that time, the Arkestra made some of its best recordings and Boykins was an integral part of the equation.

KLiP Trio: Herman Sonny Blount (Omniversal Ambassador)
by Glenn Astarita

Positive Catastrophe: Garabatos Volume One
by Martin Longley
This large New York City ensemble is co-led by cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum and the less well-known percussionist Abraham Gomez-Delgado, both of whom divide its original material between themselves. Despite potential difficulties in convening their 10-piece lineup, the band has been gigging steadily around the city, refining its carefully controlled form of anarchy. ...
Sun Ra: Sun Ra Featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold
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 ...
