One Mysterious Recording

Mr. Richard D. Coreno | Berea, Ohio USA | 09/18/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The third volume in the Lost Reel Collection is one mysterious recording from the vast vault of Sun Ra; the performance was found on a tape with the title, Spacemaster Concert. It was recorded on an undetermined date in the early-1970s and has a metallic quality due to Sun Ra's electric keyboards, which retains an free jazz quality, though the tones are much noisier.

The vocals of June Tyson are impeccable, with the standout selections being Exotic Forest, Shadow World and Friendly Galaxy/Watusi. There remains a number of questions surrounding the recording that may never be solved. This is truly something out of lost-and-found, with the waiting being the hardest part.
