Sun Ra and His Solar Myth Arkestra "Strange Worlds" Album Review

Solar Myth Approach
The tracks on Atom Music's "Strange Worlds" are the same as on 1970's "The Solar Myth Approach" [volumes 1 and 2], label Snapper UK, ASIN B0002CU4Z2. Audio quality sounds the same to me. There are three minor differences: (1) this release from Atom Music is cheaper; (2) track sequence is different for no apparent reason; (3) most of these tracks are two seconds shorter than their counterparts on "The Solar Myth Approach." Listeners new to Sun Ra should start with other releases, of work from 1956 to 1964, much of which is on Evidence Records. Four stars just because, well, it is Ra.

Bill Wells Trio "Incorrect Practice" Album Review

Scottish late night jazz is food for soul
The simple beauty of this atmospheric record of jazz is impossible to put into words.<br>The Bill Wells Trio understand how to use space in music, which I believe to be a priceless intuition. The repetitive, hypnotic trumpet is quietly beautiful. The piano is percussive and emotive. The melodies are gentle and haunting. And accessible from the first listen.<br>The importance of the use of space and simplicity in order to create an affecting piece of music is illustrated perfectly here.<br>This record is peaceful, yet jazzy. I put it on before I go to bed yet it gives me energy because there is such a tangible quiet joy here. If you are lucky enough to source a copy of this album, buy it. Dont hesitate.
