| | 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
 $10.75 
Spaceways Inc. has thrown a sexy curveball at those who deemed the band a sideways project for saxophonist Ken Vandermark, drummer Hamid Drake, and bassist Nate McBride. Certainly the band's debut, Thirteen Cosmic Standards by Sun Ra & Funkadelic (also on Atavistic), offered this impression, though in all fairness it was a studio reflection of the band's first gigs. Version Soul is perhaps the first true example of Spaceways Inc. as a collective whose love for popular music from the past and present is the basis of an exploration into nuances heretofore unheard. All nine tunes were written either by Vandermark or McBride. Many of them are dedicated to other musicians, such ...

ALEGRIA won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album. "Sacajawea" won for Best Instrumental Composition.
ALEGRIA is a truly remarkable return to form for Wayne Shorter. Despite a number of missteps in the years since his acclaimed early-'60s releases JUJU and SPEAK NO EVIL, the revered tenor saxman and composer enjoyed a renaissance with 2002's well-received FOOTPRINTS LIVE and this collection of meticulously executed tunes. ALEGRIA recalls the Shorter of yore with its brainy, challenging arrangements and dexterous inside/outside musicianship. The opener "Sacajawea," for example, with its boogie ...

This exceptional date by Dave Holland Big Band was recorded in 2002 in New York, yet remained unreleased until 2005. As is to be expected, Holland assembled a fine cast of seasoned and young players, some of whom are veterans of Holland's quintets and quartets. These are four saxophones -- two alto, tenor and baritone -- three trumpets and trombones, and vibes as well as bass and drums. They include Chris Potter and Robin and Duane Eubanks, Antonio Hart, Steve Nelson, Josh Roseman, Billy Kilson, Taylor Haskins, Gary Smulyan, Jonathan ...
