Discipline 27-II Sun Ra (Recorded during the same 1972 sessions as Impulse’s “Space Is the Place”) A tough one to find and well-worth seeking out, especially for those who like “Space Is the Place.” (This post courtesy of lp cover lover Charles Bass who wrote “Why is this my favorite cover? The life it portrays is fascinating and inexorable. It’s also one of my favorite albums”)
The title cut is a side-long space chant number, presumably recorded as one lengthy piece, although the tune itself is divided into three sections. Lyrics to Discipline 27-II:
What planet is this? (repeat)
What planet is this? (repeat)
Is this a planet of life? (repeat)
Is this a planet of life . . . or death? (repeat)
If this is a planet of life, why are people dying here? (repeat)
This is not life, this is not life . . . this is death disguised as life. (repeat)
If this is a planet of life, why do people die here?
I . . . I roam the cosmos . . . I know what life is . . . Life is splendid. (repeat)
Why don’t you . . . why don’t you seek to know the mysteries of the greater universe? Why do you want to stay on just one isolated little planet?
(Why . . . why don’t you want to seek the greater mysteries of the universe?
Why . . . why do you want to stay on this one little isolated planet?)
Are you afraid? . . . What is it you want to know? Do you want to know where the universe came from? I’ll tell you. At first there was nothing . . .
At first there was nothing . . . then nothing turned itself inside out and became something. (repeat)
Why don’t you turn yourself inside out? (repeat)
Come with me . . . come with me . . . to the outer planets. Why do you want to stay here? What do you have to lose here? You have nothing to lose . . . except your death.
(Come . . . with me to the outer planets. Why do you want to stay here? You have nothing to lose . . . but your death.)

The Rumproller
“The Rumproller” Lee Morgan Joe Henderson Ronnie Matthews Victor Sproles and Billy Higgins Blue Note 4199 (1965) Reid Miles cover design. Rudy Van Gelder produced. Photo by Blue Note founder Francis Wolff. Liner Notes by Leonard Feather. Listen up: “The Rumproller” “Desert Moonlight”
Lee Morgan had two albums in the can when “The Sidewinder” became the surprise hit of 1964, making the Top 100 pop album charts. Blue Note brought Lee back into the studio for a follow-up album with Joe Henderson and Billy Higgins reprising their roles. The kick-off funk tune “The Rumproller” was written by Andrew Hill and proved a worthy successor to “The Sidewinder”. But Lee’s beautiful “Desert Moonlight”, in time, became regarded as this album’s classic performance. The ballad “The Lady” offers a rare appearance by Lee with muted trumpet. (True Blue)
