The Incredible Nana with Agustín Pereyra Lucena

Four pieces appear on this CD: Ancestral Echoes, the Eternal Egypt Suite, Sket…
When Angels Speak of Love
"One of a number of sessions cut at the Choreographers' Workshop, this
1963 set establishes Sun Ra's Arkestra as a New York band, sonically
coupled to developments in the decidedly urbane downtown arts
underground. The stargazing clamor of the music reflects the intensity
of a cultural crossroads where concrete and dust pervade any skyward
view, from East 3rd Street to Mars and beyond. One of Sun Ra's rarest
releases, it had negligible circulation through shops. While most of the
Saturn o…

That Time
Unrelease befor recordings dated 1972 and 1980. The London Jazz Composers Orchestra began back in 1970. The idea of a composers' orchestra, a large formation equally defined by the concepts of composition or intervention and by the improvised creative genius of the participating musicians, developed an amazing self-impetus. It was this energy, which proved to be greater than the arithmetic sum of the participants, that encouraged Barry Guy and the orchestra to drive idea and practice even furthe…

Keep Your Heart Straight
It was May 2009 when I first heard Alexander Hawkins play at the Vortex Jazz Club, with the Anthony Braxton s cornet-playing protégé Taylor Ho Bynum, bassist Dominic Lash and drummer Harris Eisenstadt in the Convergence Quartet. The music was an idiomatic white-knuckle ride, and all the players were variously fascinating but the then 28 year-old Hawkins was a revelation, for the audacity of his ideas, the depth of his understanding of both thematic and free-form musics, and for his Cecil Taylor-…
Before the Wind Changes
