Sun Ra / Sun Ra Quartet

New Steps

1978

Avant-Garde Jazz

Credited to the Sun Ra Quartet, there are two standards amongst a program of originals, including a stellar version of "My Favorite Things." The music quickly takes its only sharp turn toward outer space with "Moon People," emphasizing synth over piano whereas the lovely "Sun Steps" reverses that. In this small group, solo space is ample for John Gilmore, Ra and Michael Ray, all of whom are in fine form as is Luqman Ali, whose understated drumming holds things together beautifully.
