Description
Sun Ra ORIG US LP Solo piano Volume 1 EX ’77 IAI 37.38.50 Avant garde Free Jazz
Original US LP released in 1977 on Improvising Artists Inc. Records. Cat: IAI 37.38.50.Without his Intergalactic Space Research Arkestra to hide behind, Sun Ra recorded Solo Piano, Vol. 1, revealing a tender, gentle side always lingering but never entirely present in his days leading his large ensemble. Cutting a pair of standards the traditional "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" and Duke Ellington's "Yesterday" and filling the rest of the disc out with original compositions, Ra extemporizes with a surprising mix of restraint and abandon, often sounding as if he is going to play it straight before launching into a key thrashing salvo that would ordinarily be accompanied by a burst of horns. Here, though, with the use of pedaling, Ra lets the notes drift off to space by themselves, lonely and floating in the void.
