Disco 3000 is yet another release by the Sun Ra Quartet, recorded during an incredibly prolific period in Italy in January of 1978.

Sun Ra and the Arkestra were the headliners. I first noticed that all of the musicians had suitcases filled with music under their chairs. I introduced myself to one of the trumpet players, Ahmed Abdullah and was amazed at how much music everyone in the band had. Their performance was bizarre to say the least! With 4 brass, 7 in the reed section, 3 trap drummers and everyone in the band playing percussion with 5 beautiful dancers, Sun Ra took the audience to another level. Some weeks later I happen to see him on the trolley and told him how much I enjoyed his set. He invited me to a rehearsal.

At some point in time, Sun Ra or one of his associates archived the quartet recordings he’d made in Italy in 1978 with John Gilmore, Michael Ray and Luqman Ali. There were quite a few tapes, originally with good quality sound. Art Yard has already issued one such recording as THE COMPLETE DISCO 3000 CONCERT. Here now is another, containing music from another night, probably another venue, on Sun Ra’s one and only Quartet tour, in Italy in 1978. And of course, as it concerns Sun Ra, it raises as many questions as it answers. There is an issue with sound quality with this recording. This particular tape is no longer in audiophile condition.
