Editor's info:
Repress! Sun Ra's legendary 1978 Italian studio sessions, now available together again on vinyl!
Long sought-after by collectors, these extremely rare studio sessions were originally released in 1978 as two double LPs ('New Steps' and 'Other Voices, Other Blues') on the mysterious Italian jazz label Horo Records.
With the help of trumpet player Michael Ray, drummer Luqman Ali and saxophonist John Gilmore, Sun Ra kicks off the quartet sessions with the classic 'My Favorite Things', which features some superlative playing by Gilmore, while Ra pounds away on an old upright studio piano. In fact, for the first two sides Ra plays mostly piano, while on sides C and D, he sticks more to his new Crumar Multiman, an Italian-made synthesizer that Ra had purchased during the tour. These sessions are also interesting because they give listeners a chance to hear Ra concentrating on primarily his own compositions.
