gianluca petrella

Gianluca Petrella & Cosmic Band performed a set of Sun Ra tunes on the 2008 edition of the Umbria Jazz Festival, at the Teatro Morlacchi, Perugia, Italy, on saturday 12th July 2008.

FM broadcast by "RADIO3 SUITE - FESTIVAL DEI FESTIVAL", Radio Tre RAI [third channel of italian national radio], on monday 21 July 2008.

from the info over at DimeADozen: "This is clearly a project that, also philosophically, owes a lot to Sun Ra. But everything is very melodic, very musical, very lirycal, and every ingredient is very well mixed. Indeed there is a typical italian musicality.. there's no free jazz madness, all is enjoyable and easy to assimilate, and the electronics bits are just a part of the whole. Of course this is close to Burnt Sugar Orchestra or Nublu, where shibusa Shirazu are a lot more unpredictable, but I feel this italian lot are better.."

Appearantly, the broadcast wasn't perfect as the taper mentions some glitches and skips on the original broadcast.
However, still worth checking out for the Sun Ra fan.
