He was invited by ESP in 1964 to record his own album, and in February 1974, he told ESP that he was finally ready, and the session took place later that month. This recording not only features Boykins' solid abilities as a bassist, including his marvelous arco work, but also his talents as a composer and arranger. In addition, one is treated to an all-natural bass sound, a rare sound during this particular era of jazz history. In septet format, Boykins' six originals create a variety of moods and textures that not only evokes the music of Sun Ra but also reflects Boykins' own sensibilities as an artist. Original pressings, made just before ESP-Disk' went on hiatus for forty years and thus less common that other ESP LPs, often go for upwards of $150. 180 gram vinyl features original artwork.\" - ESP Disk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elone solo effort from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Sun%20Ra\u0026amp;_=pf\u0026amp;pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Sun%20Ra\u0026amp;pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Sun%20Ra%20And%20His%20Arkestra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSun Ra Arkestra\u003c\/a\u003e bassist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g black vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efeaturing Ronnie Boykins (b), Monty Waters (a. sax, s. sax), James Vass \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(a. sax, s. sax), Joe Ferguson (s. sax, t. sax, flute), Daoud Haroom (trombone), Art Lewis (perc), George Avaloz (perc)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1975\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: ESP Disk 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ronnie Boykins","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":39989440249946,"sku":"fr-4752","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/ronnieboykins-thewillcomeisnow-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762282331","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/ronnie-boykins-the-will-come-is-now-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.sbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
