Product description

"In The Orbit Of Ra" is a sprawling, interstellar journey through the cosmic jazz universe of Sun Ra and His Arkestra. Compiled by longtime Sun Ra reedman Marshall Allen, this double album brings together highlights from over 25 years of music, offering a comprehensive introduction to the genre-defying sounds of Sun Ra. From the free jazz explorations of "Spontaneous Simplicity" to the hard bop energy of "Island In The Sun - Extended Version," the album showcases the Arkestra's incredible range and innovation. Live recordings like "Dance Of The Cosmo-Aliens" and "Trying To Put The Blame On Me" capture the band's electrifying stage presence, while tracks like "Plutonian Nights" and "Interplanetary Music" transport the listener to distant galaxies. With its blend of avant-garde experimentation and infectious grooves, "In The Orbit Of Ra" is a testament to Sun Ra's enduring influence and the Arkestra's otherworldly musical prowess. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a curious newcomer, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.
