Sun Ra At The Showcase: Live In Chicago

[ghost of miles]

Another upcoming release from Jazz Detective:

This album is a special thrill for me, since I first heard Sun Ra when was in high school. The great Zev Feldman’s Jazz Detective label releases Sun Ra at the Showcase: Live in Chicago featuring previously unissued live recordings of the legendary intergalactic composer/pianist. It’s available as a 2 LP set for Record Store Day, April 20, 2024 with the 2-CD set and downloads to follow on April 26.  An out-of-this-world bonanza, this album contains previously unissued live recordings of the intergalactic jazz icon captured live at Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase in Chicago, IL on February 21, 1976 and November 4th & 10, 1977. This is an official release on producer Zev Feldman's Jazz Detective record label, in partnership with Elemental Music, and in cooperation with the Sun Ra Trust. Researched and compiled by longtime Sun Ra archivist Michael D. Anderson, and transferred from the original tape reels, this limited-edition 180-gram 2-LP edition (and deluxe 2-CD set) includes an extensive insert with rare photographs from the actual performances by Hal Rammel; liner notes by acclaimed author John Corbett; and interviews and statements from a who's who of music icons including Marshall Allen, David Murray, Dave Burrell, Matthew Shipp, Thurston Moore, Amina Claudine Myers, Jack DeJohnette, Michael Weiss and Reggie Workman.
