And right before the year ends, here’s our show celebrating the best music of 2020, including our favourite new music and reissues, and our own Spiritmuse Records releases for the year. The show is packed with gems from Sun Ra Arkestra, Matthew Halsall, dumama + kechou via Mushroom Hour Half Hour, a Gambian Griot kora duet via Folkways, deep listening music by Joshua Abrams and Jon Hassel and beautiful spiritual jazz by Cosmic Vibrations ft. Dwight Trible, Kahil El’Zabar and David Murray.
Spiritmuse Records presents #179: The Interplanetary Travels of Sun Ra
We’re celebrating the 106th Interplanetary arrival of Sun Ra on Planet Earth, with our quintessential selection of our favourite tracks from the Afrofuturist pioneer’s extraordinary volume of work. Considered by many ‘The Greatest of All Time’, he’s been an immense personal influence and mainstay of our shows, as is to many other jazz lovers and beyond. For 2hrs, ‘We Travel the Spaceways’. ? This is our tribute of love to this unique experimental musician, composer, bandleader, piano and synth player, theatrical performer, poet and cosmic philosopher.
