Review

The Wire (p.62) - "[D]ominated by the presence of Sun Ra's mighty Roksichord electronic keyboard playing, which he backs up with two Minimoog synthesizers on two of the tracks here..."

Title Note

Sun Ra & His Intergalactic Infinity Arkestra: Donny Davis (alto clarinet); Sun Ra (celesta); Stafford James (electric bass); John Gilmore (percussion).

While Sun Ra was certainly one of jazz's most bizarre and creative self-mythologizers, he was also one of it's most adventurous and talented keyboard players. THE NIGHT OF THE PURPLE MOON, reissued by Atavistic in 2007, is a relaxed small-combo affair that, interestingly, finds long-time saxophone sideman John Gilmore on drums for all but one cut (he plays tenor on "Impromptu Festival"). The focus, though, is, of course, Ra and his Rocksichord, just one of the many odd synths and keyboards the Saturn native would employ during his career. This is pure, vintage Sunny Ray, as the man grooves, struts, and gets way out on these simple takes. The reissue also includes three bonus demos of Ra jamming on his Wurlitzer, providing yet more evidence of his amazing piano skills.
