Extended release by London label Art Yard of a 1978 El Saturn LP. A highly engaging set from certainly one of the most fertile periods of Ra's career. The synth and electronics work is nothing short of incredible. Also staggering is the music force and fluidity coming from such a small ensemble of musicians: Ra's keyboards and synthesizers, Michael Ray's trumpet, John Gilmore's tenor horn, Luqman Ali's impeccable drumming and June Tyson's occasional but always welcome vocal. Ra's small group and solo work in this period is certainly some of his best work and this concert is exemplary.
Performers: Sun Ra (pi/og/sy/drum machine/vo), Michael Ray (tp/vo), John Gilmore (t-sx/dr/vo), Luqman Ali (dr/vo), June Tyson (vo)
