We Say...
From Evidence's invaluable reclamation of the long-lost Saturn archives, a comprehensive portrait of where Ra was coming from and going to, bookending some of his first (the 1956 Planet Earth) and last (the 1960 Low Ways) Chicago sessions. From surprisingly polished and "conventional" swing and bop, the music mutates through increasingly dissonant and percussive ethno-exotica; Ra's resourceful, piquant voicings make ten instruments or less sound much bigger. Duke surely would've dug the shapely "Eve" and "Planet Earth," if only he'd heard them. On the seriously forward-looking Low Ways, the title track hauntingly dislocates the standard "Tenderly," while in "Rocket Number Nine Take Off for the Planet Venus," a staccato odd-meter space-chant launches tenor sax giant John Gilmore outward-bound at high velocity.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
