Edition of 500 (hand-numbered)

All EVI preludes and interludes played by Marshall Allen.

Sun Ra is known to most better as a musician than a poet, even though throughout his long career he described himself as a composer of both. Recited by a multigenerational array of artists, 'My Words are Music' is an assembly of prose that comes to fruition through chosen selections of Sun Ra's poetry–simultaneously propelling Ra's message into the now while honoring its essence.

All poetry appears courtesy of the Estate of Sun Ra, administered by Corbett vs. Dempsey, Chicago.
Melanie Charles appears courtesy of Impulse! Records.
