Jazz in the Space Age

560531410_37642cacd7.jpg

“Jazz in the Space Age” (1960) on Decca Records. George Russell and his orchestra featuring Bill Evans at the piano.

George Russell’s third release as a leader combines two adventurous sessions. The first features two pianists, Bill Evans and Paul Bley, and a large ensemble including Ernie Royal, Dave Baker, Walt Levinsky, Barry Galbraith, Milt Hinton and Don Lamond, among others. The three-part suite “Chromatic Universe” is an ambitious work which mixes free improvisation with written passages that have not only stood the test of time but still sound very fresh. “The Lydiot” focuses on the soloists, while incorporating elements from “Chromatic Universe” and other Russell compositions. The second session adds trumpeter Marty Markowitz, valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer, alto saxophonist, Hal McKusack and drummer Charlie Persip to the earlier group, in the slow, somewhat mysterious “Waltz From Outer Space,” which incorporates an Oriental-sounding theme, and “Dimensions,” described by its composer as “a sequence of freely associated moods indigenous to jazz.”
