Free Music Review: A pleasant surprise and a great CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I started listening to this CD, knowing only the guy's name and that he claimed to be from Saturn. So, when the first song started with a gong, I was nervous that my jazz listening skills would once again be challenged with some off-the-wall, "I can make stranger sounding jazz music than you can" type of recording. I was pleasantly surprised to find Sun Ra and his "Arkestra" to be amazingly approachable and authentic. Their sound is a very big band, steady swing type of sound, and while one or two tracks experiment with some chanting, odd rhythms and non-traditional instruments, most of this is straight ahead, classic-sounding jazz. I found myself humming or even "scatting" a melody or two to myself during the day, and after a steady four or five day diet of Miles Davis, I found the transition to Sun Ra unexpectedly smooth. I will be coming back to this CD often in the future.
