| | Spaceways Incorporated Thirteen Cosmic Standards By Sun Ra & Funkadelic CD Spaceways Incorporated Discography of CDs
Spaceways Incorporated, who include Chicago jazzer and McArthur Foundation "Genius" grant winner Ken Vandermark, perform free jazz, avant-rock, and hard-swinging post-bop jazz with dynamism and sharp technique. Here, they pay tribute to two cosmic aggregations, the Sun Ra Arkestra and Funkadelic, selecting choice covers, taking them down to the street-corner, and from there beaming them into outer space.
They bring a funk-tinged quasi-Latin groove to Sun Ra's "Bassism," and a medley of Funkadelic's "Red Hot Mama/Superstupid" becomes a lean, stripped-down rhythm machine, with Vandermark wailing white-hot over the top like some mad offspring of Junior Walker and Dewey Redman. "El Is a Sound of Joy" features suave, brainy bass clarinet and stealthy, late-night cool-cat bass and drums. This trio shines a new, very personal light on some great music by past masters.
Recorded at Uberstudio, Chicago, Illinois on January 13 & 14, 2000.
Spaceways Incorporated: Ken Vandermark (saxophone); Nate McBride (acoustic & electric basses); Hamid Drake (drums).
Producers: Ken Vandermark, Brendan Burke, John Corbett.
JazzTimes (12/00, pp.101-2) - "...Alternates sinuous tunes by Sun Ra with the brash, galvanizing funk of George Clinton..."

Thirteen Cosmic Standards By Sun Ra & Funkadelic album
 $15.29 
On Quake, downtown cello boss Erik Friedlander teams up with Japan's fraternal rhythm section the Takeishi brothers (Stomu and Satoshi on bass and drums, respectively) as well as alto saxophonist Andy Laster for a date of intimate, knotty new jazz. In working with an electric bassist in this setting, the opportunities for unique tonalities are everywhere and are exploited to some degree as they were on an earlier work, The Watchman. Over the years, however, Friedlander has become a composer of interesting ensembles and Quake's is no exception. What is so remarkable about the performances on this recording are details such as counterpoint; on the opener, Laster and Stomu have equal opportunities to engage Friedlander and each other for a knotty, but exhilarating, ride. On the erratically ...

$13.35
On his second album fronting his band Sadawi, trumpeter and composer Paul Brody continues his work in the avant-klezmer trenches, helping to drag that hundred-year-old music kicking and screaming into the 21st century. On Beyond Babylon he shows his unwillingness to be constrained by any ghetto boundaries, opening the album with an extended deconstruction of the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts" (which features a hair-raisingly skronky banjo solo by Brandon Seabrook), and making use of elements ...
