By now, Sun Ra's exceptional band is a well-documented musi-cultural phenomenon. Unfortunately, this wasn't always the case. Calling Planet Earth is a marvelous three-CD collection of Sun Ra that includes "Spaceways" (two concerts, recorded in 1966 and 1968), "Calling Planet Earth" (a live show from 1971), and "Outer Spaceways Incorporated" (a studio collection). On all three discs, Sun Ra's spacey, avant-garde jazz orchestrations are exhorted by a willing and musically fanatical big band. A traditional rhythm section, African percussion, June Tyson's expressive singing, and Ra's imaginative work on piano and keyboard electronics augment brass and reed sections. Featuring outrageous soloists like tenor giant John Gilmore, this retrospective is essential. --Mitch Myers
