CD Haverford College Jan, 25, 1980 Solo Rhodes Piano

Description

Sun Ra, renowned for his aggressive keyboard style, showcases a more relaxed and contemplative side in this unique performance from January 25, 1980, at Haverford College. Playing the celeste-like Fender Rhodes electric piano, known for its gentle, bell-like tone, Sun Ra delivers original compositions such as "Love in Outer Space" and "Space Is the Place," alongside jazz standards including "Rhapsody in Blue" and "St. Louis Blues." This concert, long available only in collectors' digital archives, has now been remastered and officially released on CD. The performance is complemented by bonus tracks, including a duet with vibraphonist Walt Dickerson, offering listeners a rare glimpse into Sun Ra's most serene and introspective musical expressions.
