Sun Ra Quartet "When There Is No Sun"
Album "New Steps" (Live in Rome)1978
Oh boy, if you have never heard of Sun Ra I almost do not know where to begin...He abandoned his birth name and took the name and persona of Sun Ra(Ra being the ancient God of the sun). Claiming that he was of the "Angel Race". Sun ra developed a complicated persona of "Cosmic" philosophies and lyrical poetry that made him a pioneer of Afrofuturism as he preached "awareness" and peace above all.
There is so much work by him and really need to do your homework on him if you like this....
I don't have a pic of the original album for this very rare recording which is Live in Rome and really hard to find.
I really like this mellow track
