Shadow World

Sunday morning. Let’s travel the spaceways, with Sun Ra and his Arkestra. I had the good fortune to see these guys perform in New York City back in the 80s. Maybe it was 84. I’m not sure. At that moment of time they were Sun Ra and his Intergalactic Omniverse Arkestra. I didn’t know much about them except that Mr. Ra was from Saturn, and since he was the only musician from Saturn playing in NY during my visit, going to the show seemed like the right thing to do. It was at a club in Greenwich Village. I can’t recall now which one it was. They played a tribute to Duke Ellington and Fletcher Henderson, and the show was excellent.

Here’s the group filmed in Berlin…

Here’s the Arkestra again….excuse me, this time it’s Sun Ra and his Intergalaxtic Arkestra…from their fine salute to Walt Disney, Second Star to the Right.

Have your say...
