Customer Reviews of Live at Montreux
If one Ra disc is all you can buy in your lifetime! THIS should be the one! I've been patiently waiting for this to be reissued on CD as the LP has been out of print for many years.
From the opening vocal chant/percussion to the abrupt segue into wailing reeds and horns to John Gilmore's technically and musically adept gallop through Ellingtonia to Star Wars-like "Lights on a Satellite" to the closing "We Travel The Spaceways" singalong, this disc is the epitome of Sun Ra's group as they sounded live in 1976. Powerful, emotive, creative and challenging, this disc keeps your attention for the two hours + of its length. Aside from the portions listed above, "El is the sound of joy" brings a fanfare of trumpets that for some reason invokes the spirit of live ARt Ensemble of Chicago to mind for me.
There isn't one minute of music on this disc that is superfluous. It will alternately tear you up and tearDROP you up. I consider this disc essential listening not just for Sun Ra fans, not just for fans of avant garde jazz, but for everyone who would like their ears and musical conceptions stretched a bit. As the proud owner of nearly 5000 pieces of avant garde jazz music, this disc is #1 on my list and has been since I first heard it in 1981. It just might become a favorite of yours as well.
