        (2024, 2cd, usa, elemental music / jazz detective)
It seems like there's no end to Sun Ra's discography. New albums keep coming out.
Released as a 2 LP Record Store Day album, Sun Ra's "At The Showcase" is now also being made available as a 2 CD set. 

SUN RA AT THE SHOWCASE: LIVE IN CHICAGO contains previously unissued live recordings of the legendary intergalactic composer/pianist Sun Ra captured live at Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase in Chicago, IL. between 1976 and 1977. This is an official release on producer Zev Feldman's Jazz Detective record label, in partnership with Elemental Music, and in cooperation with the Sun Ra Trust. Researched and compiled by longtime Sun Ra archivist Michael D. Anderson, and transferred from the original tape reels, this limited-edition 180-gram 2-LP edition (and deluxe 2-CD set) includes an extensive insert with rare photographs from the actual concerts by Hal Rammel; liner notes by James Corbett, and interviews and statements from photographer Hal Rammel, Michael Weiss, Marhall Allen, Thurston Moore, Jack DeJohnette, David Murray, Dave Burrell, Matthew Shipp, Amina Claudine Myers, and Reggie Workman.

Another excellent release !!
