Free Music Notes for Fate in a Pleasant Mood/When Sun Comes Out
Free Music Review: Sun Ra's exotica sound...
Hit: 5 Stars
Herman "Sonny" Poole Blount a.k.a. Sun Ra was unique as a jazz giant. There was nothing quite like his "Arkestra" and his unorthodox approach to jazz. Sun Ra was the purest kind of guy, a man who lived for his music and was dedicated to world brotherhood. I had the privledge of catching Sun Ra when he came to my city during a jazz festival.
The music on this CD is from the early 1960s when Sun Ra was being influenced by the exotica movement. The influence of Martin Denny can be heard on songs such as "Kingdom of Thunder", "Circle", "Brazillian Sun" and "Nile River". Unlike Denny, however, Sun Ra always makes the music a mystical and true jazz trip.
As Sun Ra branched out through hard bop, exotica, atonal music, Afro-centric music, electronic music and so forth; he remains unique, always reaching for the cosmic tomes.
Over the years, I've acquired many Sun Ra CDs and albums, but this one is my favorite.
Fate in a Pleasant Mood/When Sun Comes Out Poster
Before Sun Ra careened into the jazz avant-garde with his banks of electrickeyboards and highwire group improvisations, he made recordings like *Fatein a Pleasant Mood.* Rich with Ra's persistent astro-mythology, *Fate* is equally rich with an immersion in the history of big band music. The charts played on Fate are as orchestrally complex as anything Duke Ellington wrote, yet they still maintain a clear position on the cusp of the avant-garde. More than anything, changes are the order on Fate, fast runs across difficult melody statements, on-the-fly changes in harmonic aims and rhythmic jumps that illuminate just how completely Sun Ra understood the overlap of jazz traditions as the 1960s approached. --Andrew BartlettJazz Music CDs
