The stockpile of Duke Ellington's private recordings he amassed over the years continues to be an amazing source of fantastic music... case in point: the two late suites, The Degas Suite (1968) and The River (1970)... bits and pieces of these suites dribbled out in concert, but it's great to have these full run-throughs... On another end of the spectrum, Sun Ra's 37-minute suite "Out in Space" from the 1970 Berlin show on Black Myth/Out in Space is a tour de force, with Ra leading the way on wild Moog passages interspersed with full band blowouts...
