about

A stunning live Sun Ra event, recorded at the Inter-Media Arts Center in New York, April 20, 1991! Modern Harmonic proudly presents this very special Sun Ra recording, issued here for the first time ever! This concert was just two years before Ra’s “earthly departure” – and his keyboard work was amazingly strident and vibrant here. The Arkestra was in perfect form as well; this special night also showcased the Arkestra’s vocal magnificence with selections and sections powerfully performed by June Tyson, Michael Ray, T.C. Carney, James Jacson, and John Gilmore. Rarely will you hear the Arkestra with such clarity! Many Sun Ra releases were derived from live performances, but seldom did they have the quality or sonic-punch of this recording. We’d like to extend a big thank you to the folks at radio station WNYC, for perfectly capturing this event.

about

Sun Ra Birmingham, Alabama

Across the history of jazz, there is no wilder, more future-forward composer and performer than Sun Ra. Known as much for his wild on-stage persona as his innovative compositions, Sun Ra was the avant-garde bleeding edge of the jazz genre, introducing modal composition and electronic instrumentation before almost anyone else. ... more

I wasn’t sure whether to spring for this, as I have a bootleg CDR. (As well as vinyl). But I couldn’t miss a chance to upgrade fidelity. Anyway, I agree with Philip that this is a decent first choice for a Ra record—you can’t go wrong. There’s a little bit of blues, free , swing, and pure Ra all mixed in. It also showcases june Tyson on “black man” track. She was an overlooked Jazz vocalist, who played so well off of Ra. Gratefulshrink
