Ra in a Solo Mode

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Sun Ra was on the bill with Paul Bley in this July 3, 1977, solo performance at Axis-in-SoHo in New York. The material includes four Sun Ra compositions and an additional three classic numbers; St. Louis Blues, Three Little Words and Honeysuckle Rose.
The artistic genius of Sun Ra blossoms through his piano interpretations, which capture his universal outlook of music as a vehicle to expand one's intrinsic knowledge. The canvas is vast, but Sun Ra paints each piece quite subtly so one does not dominate the others."
