This, is a By God Boxed set. Sun Ra and his Arkestra’s “The Complete Detroit Jazz Center Residency”.
Very limited edition, numbered 28 CD-R boxed set of the Complete Detroit Jazz Center Residency: December 26, 1980 – January 1, 1981 containing 11 complete concerts with over 26 hours of music!
Besides the 28 discs, inside the box we also find two large pages that list all of the song titles from each disc. A large portion of these sets featured dozens of Sun Ra’s original compositions, chanting, inspired soloing as well as a variety of standards from Fletcher Henderson, Monk, Coleman Hawkins, Duke Ellington and classics like “Over the Rainbow” and “Big John’s Special.” Although these are all record from the soundboard, the sound quality is relatively good. An amazing set at an unbelievable price!
28, count ‘em, 28 discs for $99.99. Not everybody likes Sun Ra’s music, even a hardcore fan might have a hard time liking 28 discs worth of stuff. That’s $3.57 per disc if you were wondering.
