Artist: SUN RA ARKESTRA Title: Live at the Storyville, NYC - 24 October 1977 Format: LP Label: B13 Country: Italy Price: $29.00 |
| "Quite simply one of Sun Ras best live albums. This rare recording finds Ra, along with a 19-piece Arkestra, playing a mix of his own compositions (Images and Lights) along with several jazz standards (including Jelly Roll Mortons King Porter Stomp and Duke Ellingtons Lightnin). While Ras own compositions were usually more avant-garde affairs, he always revelled in playing the classics as well in an effort to give his audience a lesson in jazz history. Red vinyl in clear plastic sleeve with black lettering (limited edition 500 copies)." -B13. |

Clear red vinyl in clear plastic sleeve with blue lettering (limited edition 500 copies)." -B13. |

Artist: SUN RA ARKESTRA Title: Egypt Strut Format: LP Label: Vinyl Lovers Country: Russian Federation Price: $26.00 |
| "In 1983 Sun Ra travelled to Egypt -- the land of great African kings and perhaps descendants of an alien race, and therefore, a kind of spiritual homeland for Ra -- to record two compositions by the godfather of Egyptian jazz, percussionist Salah Ragab. The second piece, Dawn, is a composition based on an Islamic hymn sung during the Arabic month of Shawall and features Ra playing the Hohner melodica. This record is particularly significant because, despite Ras enormous discography and tours to all corners of the globe, this is one of the few times he ever recorded with a non-African American musician. Perhaps Ra was intrigued by the fact that the two men shared the same initials? Or perhaps he was drawn to his exceptional talent as a percussionist... knowing Ra it was probably a little of both. Also includes Watusa, recorded live at Il Capo Jazz club in Cairo in January 1984. Backcover notes by Hartmut Geerken." -Vinyl Lovers |
