<i>God Is More Than Love Can Ever Be</i> is something of a rarity in the Sun Ra catalog—a cohesive album with none of the stylistic eclecticism and musical chair shifting many of the artist’s self-released LPs were known for. Recorded at Variety Studios one day in 1979, the album’s five tracks comprise a solid jazz trio set. God is More Than Love … is the only complete piano-bass- drums studio session in the massive Sun Ra catalog. The album offers an intense set of cosmic vagabond moods, reflecting the telepathy that is the essence of small combo jazz. Other than an overdubbed second piano on Days of Happiness the five works were spontaneously generated and forever fixed: none of the titles recur in the encyclopedic Ra discography. Originally released on Saturn in several small press runs under the alternate title “Days of Happiness” between 1979 and 1981, fully realized artwork was never established and the album never got much circulation, thus it has remained a largely overlooked session in the Ra omniverse.
