CD ReviewsA Twilight Gem Mr. Richard D. Coreno | Berea, Ohio USA | 08/24/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "After a series of severe health problems, Sun Ra returned to an oftentimes ambitious touring schedule that included a 1991 appearance at the Banlieues Bleues festival. The April 11 concert is chronicled in this release.
The 10 tracks that clock in at nearly 1:19 may have familiar titles, but the improvisational flare remains bright. There is a nod to Duke Ellington - Prelude to a Kiss - but the flow from the latter numbers - We Travel the Spaceways to Melody/They'll Come Back - shows the Arkestra in excellent form and Sun Ra urging the sonic journey to sweep through the audience. A twilight gem, it stands as an outstanding example of what Sun Ra could achieve in the closing pages of an amazing career." |
