Captured in a fertile creative period, this album showcases Sun Ra's unique blend of cosmic imagination, advanced harmony, and exploratory ensemble interplay. Listeners encounter expansive pieces that move between structured themes and free improvisation, with brass, reeds, percussion, and keyboards orbiting around Sun Ra's characteristic sense of space and texture. The music combines spiritual intensity with forward-looking abstraction, making this CD a compelling document of Sun Ra's ongoing journey beyond conventional jazz boundaries.
Sun Ra (1914-1993) is considered one of the most influential and singular figures in modern jazz and experimental music. As leader of the Arkestra, he pioneered Afrofuturism in sound and imagery, uniting big-band traditions with electronics, free jazz, and cosmic philosophy. Over several decades he recorded an extensive catalogue on his own Saturn label and for renowned imprints, leaving classics such as "Jazz in Silhouette," "The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra," and "Space Is the Place." His theatrical live performances, innovative use of synthesizers, and radical rethinking of jazz ensemble music have inspired generations of musicians across genres.
CORBETT VS DEMPSEY is known for its carefully curated archival and contemporary releases at the intersection of jazz, improvisation, and experimental music. Emerging from a background in the visual arts and curation, the label places strong emphasis on sound quality, historical context, and thoughtful packaging. With projects that often unearth rare recordings and present them in definitive editions, CORBETT VS DEMPSEY has earned a reputation among collectors and adventurous listeners as a trusted source for important, sometimes overlooked, chapters of modern music history. "Continuation" fits seamlessly into this catalog, offering a meticulously presented window into Sun Ra's ever-evolving sonic universe. | | | No. of tracks: |
