We had a wonderful time with master trumpeter, Ahmed Abdullah, as he recounted his two decades of touring with the great Jazz musician Sun Ra in his new memoir, A Strange Celestial Road: My Time in the Sun Ra Arkestra. The evening consisted of equal parts story telling and music and is not an event to soon be forgotten.
Artists present were:
Ahmed Abdullah, trumpet, flugelhorn & vocals
Don Chapman, saxophone
Norbert Marius, bass
George Gray, percussion
Monique Ngozi Nri, vocalist/poet.
