VA - Weird Nightmare (Meditations On Mingus)

Here is an oddity I found stumbling around Discogs a little while ago, Weird Nightmare A Tribute to Charles Mingus.

The concept is pretty simple a bunch of NYC Avant Jazz types got together to make a cover/tribute album to Charles Mingus.

Good. Great. I'm in.

Except it isn't so simple. On top of that they are going to use a bunch of homemade instruments made by avant garde composer Harry Partch many used for the first time ever by someone other than the composer himself.

Oh wow. Cool. Bit much but I bet it will yield some interesting results.

But wait! More!

Guest artist will provide vocals on certain tracks. Like who?

Chuck D, Elvis Costello, Dr. John, Keith Richards w/Charlie Watts, Henry Rollins and for the song Eclipse Diamanda Galas with Leonard Cohn.

JESUS! Stop before you mess this up!

Anyway here it is a true oddity from the 90's

ʟɪsᴛᴇɴɪɴɢ ɴᴏᴛᴇs #4 "Kingdom of Thunder" ʙʏ Sun Ra ᴀᴠᴀɴᴛ-ɢᴀʀᴅᴇ ᴊᴀᴢᴢ

Visit Original Link

Day 4: "Kingdom of Thunder" by Sun Ra and his Myth Science Arkestra, the fifth track on Fate in a Pleasant Mood. Sun Ra. Pioneer of Afrofuturism and of the most prolific bandleaders of the 20th century. Fate in a Pleasant Mood, Recorded in mid-to-late 1960 in Chicago, Illinois, captures Sun Ra's Arkestra utilizing more dissonance and percussion in their sound, and "Kingdom of Thunder" is perhaps the most percussion-led track on the record (if not "Space Mates" earlier on). Ra's piano playing is entirely absent on this charming little tune, which opts for call-and-response between winds and drums to develop the initial theme, and while it might not be the most mind-blowing track in Sun Ra's catalogue (and certainly not the last of Sun Ra you'll be seeing here), it's a delightful listen. It gets 7 rhoditos out of 10
