artist:Sun Ra 3 notes
Sun Ra passed away in 1993, but his Arkestra keeps his cosmic jazz legacy alive with a steady stream of archival releases and collaborations. They just dropped "Hidden Fire" and "Sleeping Beauty" this year, plus some wild stuff like "Pink Elephants on Parade" that shows the space-is-the-place spirit is still going strong.
