This is a good one. Very well recorded, indeed the best recording of a Left Bank concert that I've heard. Sprited performances. Very enjoyable release.

Agreed.  This is really top notch.  I have listened to it several times already, and it keeps growing on me.

There's a new Sun Ra documentary film: https://www.firelightfilms.tv/films/sun-ra-do-the-impossible

Mostly shown at festivals so far. Coming to the area soon, I may go see it.

Got the expanded reissue of Supersonic Jazz this week, comes with a second CD of bonus tracks!

With this and the earlier expanded reissue of Jazz in Silhouette (with Sound Sun Pleasure included), the '50s are now covered quite nicely. Can't wait for them to get to the early '60s material, that part of the discography has been such a mess!
