Haverford College 1980 Solo Piano captures Sun Ra in a rare, intimate setting, performing solo at Roberts Hall, Haverford College on January 25, 1980. Known for his cosmic approach to jazz, Sun Ra offers a deeply personal journey through both improvisations and reimagined classics, showcasing his expressive touch and visionary artistry at the piano.
This reissue from Modern Harmonic includes two previously unissued bonus tracks from the archives, featuring a mid-1970s duet with an unidentified drummer and Sun Ra’s solo take on Billy Strayhorn’s “Take the A Train.” Expertly restored and annotated by Irwin Chusid, this release is a compelling document of Sun Ra’s inventive spirit and spontaneous creativity, making it a noteworthy addition to any jazz enthusiast’s collection.
