a sun ra blog - i can't believe it! though i wouldn't call me a true fan, i've got about a dozen cd's, mostly on esp, evidence and leo.
i'd recommend the ulrichsberg concert from 1989, which is available on 2 cd's, one a double, named "salute to walt disney" and "stardust from tomorrow". they came out 95 + 96. what a ensemble, marshall allen, julian priester and the incredible singer june tyson being the most famous.
thanx a lot!!!
i have stardust from tomorrow--an excellent cd. i hope you find some of these early groups as exhilirating as those in '89.
thanks for the comment.
the early groups are in my opinion much more mysterious, in sound and ensemble play.
david toop wrote some interesting stuff in his new book "exotica", the link between les baxter and sun ra - did you know that herman sonny blount was quite fond of the early output of baxter, esp. the recordings with theremin-wizard dr. samuel j. hoffman?
you do a great job for the music world - making sun ra's huge output available for todays ears... more, much more!
