NEW SUN RA ALBUMS

Transparency will be releasing three new Sun Ra titles next month.
The first three of eight Sun Ra releases planned for the first half of this year.
  • sun ra: rome 1980
    (2010, 2cd, usa, transparency)
    ** "Intimate (almost lounge) recordings featuring Sun Ra on acoustic piano, lots of horns and lots of vocals by June Tyson and Sun Ra. Of such superb quality it sounds like a studio album!"
    **
  • sun ra: the road to destiny - the lost reel collection volume six
    (2010, cd, usa, transparency)
    ** "Very horn-centric recordings from The Gibus in Paris, October 1973. The centerpiece is a 20-minute declamatory vocal interplay between Sun Ra and June Tyson: "I could have enjoyed myself on this planet"."
    **
  • sun ra: the earlier sun ra 1948 - 1955
    (2010, cd, usa, transparency)
    ** "Sun Ra as arranger and often pianist with the following groups: Andrew Tibbs & The Dozier Boys, Eugene Wright and his Dukes of Swing, Jo Jo Adams, Billie Hawkins & Sun Ra & His Orchestra, Sun Ra & His Arkestra, Billy Brooks & Red Saunders Orchestra, Red Saunders Orchestra"
