Description

UK 2-LP vinyl record + 2-CD by Sun Ra titled "In Some Far Place: Roma '77". 

Record Store Day album released in 2016, 180 gram vinyls, gatefold cover. Includes 2 CDs. CDs contains extra tracks and different running order. What is called "El Is A Sound Of Joy" on CD 2-4 is in fact an untitled improvisation.

Previously unreleased album recorded live in Rome, Italy in 1977 and recorded direct from the soundboard and mastered from first generation reel to reel tapes, this is one of the very few trio albums by Sun Ra ever to be released. The release features rare photos from recently deceased photographer H.L. Lindenmaier with sleeve notes by the Arkestra’s Knoel Scott. Although Sun Ra had always played the blues within Arkestra sets, he now summoned up the rolling tradition of blues piano, recalling Otis Spann, Avery Parrish, stride and ricky-tick styles. During this intimate concert, Ra takes us through piano and synthesizer renditions of Arkestra staples like ’Love In Outer Space’, ’Space Is The Place’ and ’Calling Planet Earth’ but also spends the latter part of the gig exploring jazz standards. Among them, we hear the first ever released Ra version of the 1930s standard ’I Cover The Waterfront’ alongside a dissonant version of ’Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child’ and ’St. Louis Blues’.

New factory sealed with info sticker on shrink wrap. The vg+ cover has an edge bend and creasing upper left. Apologies for the glare on the pictures.
