Sun Ra - Haverford College, Jan. 25, 1980

Sun Ra, notorious for his aggressive keyboard attack and seemingly schizophrenic stylings, here offers a unique selection playing the celeste-like Fender Rhodes electric piano, which has a distinct sound (think Doors' "Riders on the Storm") and an interesting history.

This is Sun Ra at his most relaxed and in a contemplative state. This 1980 solo piano set performed at Haverford College has been kicking around the internet and in the digital libraries of Ra collectors for years, though it has not previously been properly mastered or commercially issued.

This is a unique performance. It's Soothing Sounds for Saturnians.
