| | Spaceways Incorporated 13 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.

13 Cosmic Standards By Sun Ra & Funkadelic album
 $15.59 
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 ...

 $31.99 
In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for a "shadow warrior." However, the arrangement suddenly changes when Shingen gets fatally ...
