This is the second of two homemade Sun Ra box sets on
Transparency. Factory-replicated discs resume after
this - several more with Sun Ra and slowly expanding
to release other artists as well.
Much gratitude and wishing an excellent year to one
and all,
Michael
Three slices of work from the Sun Ra Arkestra -- all recorded at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto in 1978, and presented here as a massive 10 CD package! The format is great -- as the set offers up the full concert performance from each night, not just a handful of songs -- and each date in the package is represented with 3CDs of music, so that together the whole thing spans almost 8 hours in length! Performances are from March 13, September 27, and November 4, 1978 -- and the set also features a bonus CD that includes a 1968 interview on WBAI. Package is similar to the Detroit Jazz Center one from transparency -- in that the discs are CDRs, packaged in a larger plastic box with artwork. There's unfortunately no song titles or personnel -- but the recording quality is great!
