Free Music Review: The Gold Standard in a Remarkable Career
Hit: 5 Stars
In a remarkable recording career, this 2-CD reissue of the complete concert from Milan, Italy, on January, 23, 1978, is simply the gold standard.
The original album included three tracks, which is bolstered by nine additional numbers from the performance. And while the small ensemble - John Gilmore (tenor sax), Luqman Ali (drums), Michael Ray (trumpet) and June Tyson (vocals) - deliver an oftentimes subtle brilliance, it is the experimental genius of Sun Ra that makes this a soundscape classic.
Utilizing a Crumar Mainman synthesizer - the first keyboard to use pre-programmed beats - Sun Ra paints a breathtaking picture on the title track. Dance of the Cosmo Aliens and The Third Planet/Friendly Galaxy are sweeping in expression, with Sun of the Cosmos finding Sun Ra and Ali engaged in intriguing interplay.
This is an absolute must for a fan of Sun Ra or free jazz/avant-garde music and a fabulous place to start for someone seeking an excellent release to begin the trek down the cutting-edge trail paved by a true genius.
Disco 3000: Complete Milan Concert 1978 Poster
In the winter of 1977-8, philosopher, pianist and bandleader Sun Ra was in Italy. The Italian tour resulted in releases on Sun Ra's own Saturn label, all of which have long been out of print and all but impossible to find. With the re-release of DISCO 3000 one of the most celebrated of these elusive Saturn gems is once more available. This release, and it's companion MEDIA DREAMS, capture a side of Sun Ra's work - small ensemble, close form, original composition, rather minimal - that is otherwise under-represented. Depending heavily on Ra's electric and electronic keyboards (including the mysterious Crumar Mainman - of which even the company has no record) and, more unusually, on his intelligent use of sequencers and rhythm machines, this is an important window on the evolution of Ra's musical thinking, rendered even more transparent by the economy of its means; a quartet comprising only saxophonist John Gilmore, trumpeter Michael Ray and drummer Luqman Ali.Jazz Music CDs
