Description
I have always thought orchestra. I play that way, even when playing the piano. Sun Ra
Considering the monumental depth of Sun Ras recorded oeuvre, there are surprisingly few solo piano albums.
Monorails and Satellites Volumes 1 and 2 were the first commercial LPs of the artists solo keyboard excursions. Recorded in 1966 and released on his Saturn imprint in 1968, Volume 1 featured seven idiosyncratic originals and one standard (Easy Street) delivered in Sunnys singular manner. Volume 2 was released the following year, and contains five compositions, all originals. A third volume was prepped but shelved, and this deluxe edition marks its premiere release.
As with all Cosmic Myth releases these volumes are superbly mastered, and are available as a deluxe 2xCD or 3xLP tri-gatefold cover with copious liners notes by renown American jazz pianist Vijay Iyer, and additional overviews by jazz historian Ben Young and producer Irwin Chusid.
