SUN RA ARKESTRA
Title:
Live at the Storyville, NYC - 24 October 1977
Label:
B13 (ITALY)
Format:
LP
Price:
$27.00
Catalog #:
B 135LP
"Quite simply one of Sun Ra's best live albums. This rare recording finds Ra, along with a 19-piece Arkestra, playing a mix of his own compositions ('Images' and 'Lights') along with several jazz standards (including Jelly Roll Morton's 'King Porter Stomp' and Duke Ellington's 'Lightnin''). While Ra's own compositions were usually more avant-garde affairs, he always revelled in playing the classics as well in an effort to give his audience a lesson in jazz history." Red vinyl in clear plastic sleeve with black lettering (limited edition 500 copies).

"Recorded live in 1984 at one of Sun Ra's many American concerts,
Cosmo Sun Connection
captures the Arkestra in full big band mode, blowing up a storm that could probably be heard on Venus. The original vinyl LP was released by Recommended in 1985 via an agreement with Sun Ra's Saturn label. Long deleted, this is now the first time that it has surface on CD."

Title:
Egypt Strut
Label:
VINYL LOVERS (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:
LP
Price:
$24.00
Catalog #:
VL 901059LP
"In 1983 Sun Ra travelled to Egypt -- the land of great African kings and perhaps descendants of an alien race, and therefore, a kind of spiritual homeland for Ra -- to record two compositions by the godfather of Egyptian jazz, percussionist Salah Ragab. The second piece, 'Dawn', is a composition based on an Islamic hymn sung during the Arabic month of 'Shawall' and features Ra playing the Hohner melodica. This record is particularly significant because, despite Ra's enormous discography and tours to all corners of the globe, this is one of the few times he ever recorded with a non-African American musician. Perhaps Ra was intrigued by the fact that the two men shared the same initials? Or perhaps he was drawn to his exceptional talent as a percussionist... knowing Ra it was probably a little of both. Also includes 'Watusa', recorded live at 'Il Capo' Jazz club in Cairo in January 1984." Backcover notes by Hartmut Geerken.
