A Moveable Feast
Mr. Richard D. Coreno | Berea, Ohio USA | 09/26/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Sun Ra catalog is so vast - during his lifetime and posthumously - that it is oftentimes difficult to locate a starting point or the path in which to continue the journey.



This December 2007 release is part of the Lost Reel Collection, which is recordings from a variety of sources that chronicle aspects of Sun Ra's career which amazingly may not have been previously available.



Taken from sessions in December 1974 in San Francisco, this is Sun Ra and a number of musicians trying out new material or tweaking numbers which may be familiar with fans. Sometimes I'm Happy features Sun Ra on vocal, while Watusi is a slow "alternate" take. Sophisticated Lady has a wonderful elegance.



The eight numbers show musicians capturing a full range of emotions, with Sun Ra directing the performance. It has a feeling of a live show and focuses on an important aspect of Sun Ra which needs to be heard to be appreciated."
