Hit: 5 Stars
This is a very special 2-CD set that is part of the Lost Reel Collection, which is an ongoing series of releases from a variety of sources.
Disc one is a 1971 concert in a San Francisco warehouse and includes three untitled selections, Discipline, Satellites are Spinning and Enlightenment. As a sign of the (bootlegging) times, the tape runs out during Enlightenment, but that snafu does not take away from the intriguing performance that is chronicled.
The second disc is a real gem, as it is a lecture by Sun Ra entitled, The Black Man in the Cosmos, while he was in residency at UC Berkeley. Sun Ra took a holistic approach to his classes by utilizing lectures, reading materials and musical performances.
This is a fantastic collection of truly rare performances on a variety of stages, but they aptly show the artistic genius of Sun Ra.
The Creator of the Universe Poster
Volume one in a new series entitled ''The Lost Reel Collection'', and this one is the holy grail of Sun Ra history! Two-CD set of the Arkestra playing live in a SF warehouse in 1971, and a lecture by Ra from his legendary 1971 residency at UC Berkeley. Recently the Transparency label was approached with a collection of eleven reel-to-reel tapes of previously unknown Sun Ra recordings. None of this material is on any tape trader list or in any discography. The recordings are all super-high-quality and are being officially released on the Transparency label. Both discs of ''The Creator of the Universe'' are from mid-1971. Disc One is a concert at a warehouse in San Francisco, the centerpiece of which is a very dramatic and intense 20 minute "Declamation" by Ra urging the black race to rise up into freedom and identity, punctuated by the horns of the Arkestra. Completely amazing, this piece is ranked by one aficionado as the peak of Ra's career. Disc Two is one of the classes given by Ra during his teaching residency at UC Berkeley. This is a Sun Ra album like no other!Jazz Music CDs
