I did my best to pick Sun Ra tracks that have solos by Ahmed Abdullah. If I got one wrong please feel free to make a correction. AA is on all Sun Ra tracks here tonight but some tracks have multiple trumpet players.

I did an interview for an upcoming documentary on Sun Ra on Thursday and, to my surprise, found out that there exists a video of this performance El is the Sound of Joy from Montreux that has never been released to the public!
