![Vinyl Vault — Gary Bartz, “Another Earth”](https://iranepusmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Vinyl-Vault-—-Gary-Bartz-Another-Earth.jpg)
“Another Earth” will be the Vinyl Vault characteristic on Tuesday, April 2. It’s a 1969 Milestone launch by alto saxman Gary Bartz influenced in equal sections by John Coltrane and outer house. In the early 1960s, Bartz turned interested in astronomy and acquired a telescope. Not lengthy afterward, when gazing at the stars as a result of it, he spotted a UFO or unidentified aerial phenomenon in contemporary parlance.
That UFO sighting and his interest in area in common helped encourage “Another Earth.” The title monitor encompasses all of side a single and clocks in at more than 23 minutes. Shorter tracks populate side two with names influenced by the heavens like “Dark Nebula,” “U.F.O.” and “Perihelion and Aphelion.”
Bartz assembled a band sympathetic to his cosmic yearnings and bundled Pharoah Sanders on tenor saxophone, Charles Tolliver on trumpet, Stanley Cowell on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Freddy Waits on drums. Jointly, they assisted infuse a feeling of spirituality and astro wonderment with hard bop and a small avant-garde exploration.
On the album address, Bartz committed the songs to “life, anytime, wherever, and having said that it might arise.”
