SUN RA - HAVERFORD COLLEGE, JAN 25, 1980

  • sun ra: haverford college, jan 25, 1980
        (2023, cd, usa, modern harmonic)
Modern Harmonic is continuing its excellent series of Sun Ra albums.
The most recent one has just been released and captured Sun Ra in a solo Rhodes piano concert at Haverford College, on January 25, 1980.

This album, issued by us digitally in 2019, was remastered in 2022 for release on LP and CD by Modern Harmonic. Two bonus tracks were added—"We Live To Be" and "Take the 'A' Train," both featuring Sun Ra on solo piano, both from unknown concerts. We have included on this Bandcamp-only digital version Walt Dickerson's solo vibraphone performance from the Haverford date, as well as a Dickerson-Ra duet encore from Haverford.

A beautiful concert and recording.
CD comes in a trifold digipack with the liner notes inside.
As explained on the Bandcamp page: the CD presents 9 tracks, 2 of which are bonus tracks.
And the Bandcamp download/streaming album has even one additional track: the almost 25 minute 'Walt Dickerson Vibraphone Solo' piece.
