| Description: | Remastert: The Solar-Myth Approach (Vol. 1 & 2) von Sun Ra and His Solar-Myth Arkestra.
"The Solar-Myth Approach" ist ein Jazzalbum von Sun Ra & His Solar-Myth Arkestra. Die im Wesentlichen angeblich 1970/71 in New York City entstandenen Aufnahmen erschienen 1971 auf zwei Langspielplatten auf dem französischen Label BYG Actuel. Nun wurden Volume 1 & 2 geremastert und wird neu veröffentlicht!
Stilistisch gesehen sind die Alben ein Sammelsurium von Tracks aus verschiedenen nicht dokumentierten Sessions in New York und Philadelphia in den 1960er Jahren, während einige möglicherweise aus den späten 1950er Jahren stammen, als Ra und das Arkestra in Chicago ansässig waren. (Ra zog 1960 nach New York und 1968 nach Philadelphia, obwohl er noch jahrelang in NYC in den Variety Studios aufnahm). Es gibt keine spezifischen Sessionprotokolle für diese Tracks, und auf beiden Solar-Myth-LPs erscheint eine identische Personalliste.
Ra war kein akribischer Kommentator seiner eigenen Veröffentlichungen. Als kosmischer Spa�vogel neigte er zu Fälschungen und mutwilliger "Irreführung"; die aufgelisteten Spieler, Daten, Orte und sogar Titel sind manchmal unzuverlässig. (Um es mit den Worten des Autors Bob Mielke zu sagen: "Sun Ra ist nicht echt - er ist ein Mythos!"). - .. APPROACH VOL.2Vinyl LP pressing. Vol. 2 of 2. This release showcases both the prolific output and unparalleled creative verve of Sun Ra, the man who created his own genre. Upgrading his celebrated band The Arkestra to the rank of Solar Myth Arkestra, the bandleader-composer-pianist-keyboardist produced enough music in his lifetime to fill a universe, and these sessions, though their precise date and place of recording remain unknown, are among the finest he released in the '70, which was an action-packed decade for him.Issued with double-sided liner notes and BYG catalogue insert.
