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.

Ken Vandermark had long been interested in paying his respects to and interpreting classic material by Ra and Funkadelic - legendary artists so thoroughly influential and inventive that their importance can't really be overstated. The obvious challenge (and inherent risk) for the players is finding the elusive ground between reverent tribute and eidetic transformation. In the case of Spaceways Inc., which features Vandermark (reeds), Hamid Drake (drums) & Nate McBride (bass), a superbly skilled & balanced trio finds that rarified musical destination. The finest-kind vintages conjured here include numbers from the classic Ra LP's SOUND OF JOY & SUN SONG (1957); WE TRAVEL THE SPACEWAYS (1959/60); and THE FUTURISTIC SOUNDS OF SUN RA (1961). The Funkadelic albums & singles tackled include RED HOT MAMA (1970); MAGGOT BRAIN (1971); COSMIC SLOP (1973); and STANDING ON THE VERGE OF GETTING IN ON (1974).

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..."
