The Night Of The Purple Moon [2LP]

Sun Ra – The Night Of The Purple Moon [2LP]

The Night of the Purple Moon is a 1970 small-group session from Sun Ra, first issued on his own Saturn label. It's one of his most compact and approachable records: short, bluesy pieces built around the buzzing sound of the Rocksichord electric keyboard and Mini-Moog.

Ra is joined by John Gilmore (mostly on drums), Danny Davis on alto sax and flute, and Stafford James on electric bass. Reissued by the Sun Ra specialists at Cosmic Myth Records.

Genre: Avant-Garde Jazz.
