SUN RA - BLACK MYTH / OUT IN SPACE



This week, my journey through Sun Ra's Intergalactic World took me to "Black Myth / Out In Space", a 2CD set that got released on Motor Records in 1998.
Parts of this set got previously released on vinyl on "Black Forest Myth" (1971) and on "It's After The End Of The World" (1971).

The album includes recordings from the 1970/10/17 Donauschingen Music Festival and from the 1970/11/07 Berlin Jazz Festival.

Superb free jazz and vocal big band stuff (with June Tyson), all included in the same concert.
Very nice.

COUNTRY & EASTERN NEWSFLASH

Here's a newsflash from the Swedish Country & Eastern label. Remember the excellent "Beches Brew" album by Bengt Berger?
That's them.

Beches Brew - West Coast Edition is the Gothenburg based variety of Beches
Brew.


The members are:
Stefan Bellnäs, bass - Bengt Berger, drums - Thomas Gustafsson and Sir Thomas Jäderlund, saxophones - Göran Klinghagen, guitar, banjo and Livet Nord, violin. Since september last year we have been playing wonderful music every saturday at 6 pm in L'Assassino, a great bar in Gothenburg.

We usually have guests in the concerts and in march they will be:
6/3: Sarah Riedel, vocal and Stefan Forsén, piano.
13/3: Fabian Kallerdahl, piano
20/3: Carina M. Johansson, vocal
27/3: TBA

We also made the music for a play at Göteborgs Stadsteater that will open on march 19.
In the opening week, march 16 to 20, we have lunch concerts at the theatre with Carina M. Johansson under the label "In A Sentimental Mood".
I'm afraid that is all sold out but you have a chance to hear it at L'Assassino on march 20 as well.

So there are some good reasons to visit Gothenburg.
________________________________________

ALBUMWISE, WE HOPE THAT THE CD'S WITH THE GREAT HACI TEKBILEK AND WITH THE INDIAN SAINT SWAMY HARIDHOS WILL BE OUT BY APRIL 26. MANY PEOPLE ARE EAGERLY WAITING FOR THEM.
