Monorails and Satellites by Sun Ra on CD Although Sun Ra's catalog of available recordings numbers into the hundreds, there are very few solo entries. Monorails and Satellites (1966) is among the earliest -- if not the first -- long player to consist of strictly piano solos. While Ra's various Arkestras became infamous for their highly skilled and emotive bombast, these recordings prove that the bandleader easily retains his highly advanced and passionate echelon of intensity. The vast majority...

Little big band Planet D Nonet hails from the musical mecca of Detroit, and it includes veterans of Motor City jazz, blues, and rock bands who play songs ranging from jump blues and early swing to far-out early rhythm and blues. The Snug Harbor concert promises to be more straightforward, but the Zeitgeist gig will feature the music of Sun Ra, the great composer, bandleader, philosopher and all-out madman. Planet D's We Travel the Spaceways: The Music of Sun Ra shows it learned well from playing...

Nothing has grown more tiresome in our hype-saturated era than claims of people being ahead of their time. Given the recent raising of extra-terrestrial consciousness generated by Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, I wouldn’t be surprised to find Sun Ra, whose Arkestra has been “out there” for over 20 years, hailed as a harbinger of R2D2 in some quarters. While the connection is not totally tenuous (compare the theme of “Lights on a Satellite,” written no later than 1959, with the...

"Live recordings of Sun Ra's large Intergalactic Solar Research Arkestra performing live in Helsinki, 1971, plus a DVD of a 1971 interview with The Finnish Broadcasting Company. Double CD contains an entire 2 1/2 hour concert showcasing all dimensions of the group: free jazz, psychedelia, the beautiful vocals of June Tyson, and a one-way ticket to space with several astounding Sun Ra synthesizer solos. The performance and recording quality are so great that this could easily pass for a missing studio...

"Recorded live at the Ann Arbor Blues And Jazz Festival 1972-73-74. The classic big band with a full complement of singers, Tracks 1 ?10 (1972) feature the great Space is the Place Suite. After the first few minutes the sound is surprisingly good with great drums throughout; crystal clear. Presence and excitement are well captured, along with some blistering Ra electronics and the crowd cheering everyone on. A bass solo even: rare event. Tracks 11 - 18 (1973) roll straight on winding up with the...

The concert video Sun Ra: Montreux and Lugano features the legendary cult figure performing in three different venues. The video includes footage from a 1978 show in Italy, a 1985 appearance at the Piazza della Riforma o Lugano, and his 1976 set at the Montreux Jazz Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Ras G and the Afrikan Space Program kick off the first in a series of Sun Ra Interpretation 12"s from All City. The Southern California beatsmith channels the spirit of Sun Ra and sends a signal back out to orbit on the deliriously spaced-out "MDU NTR(1)." The track is cosmic jazz on a whole 'nother level, not your typical LA beats release for sure! Flipside contains the original 1971 Sun Ra cut "Nidhamu(2)" from which "MDU NTR" is based on. This is a vinyl only release - sorry digital dudes!

The Second Stop Is Jupiter by Sun Ra and His Arkestra on LP The Second Stop Is Jupiter is the companion volume to Interplanetary Melodies in that many of the same tunes are on both discs in previously released and unreleased form. There's just a bit more of a "rehearsal" aspect to this volume, with some song breakdowns and a bit of arrangement discussion. The space references are a bit more overt as well, with "Spaceship Lullaby" and "Second Stop Is Jupiter" both containing elements that would end...
