Sun Ra and His Band from Outer Space – Space Aura

Sun Ra and His Band from Outer Space – Space Aura. Vinyl 10inch / 45RPM Limited Edition. ARTYARD 10/001

Remarkable quartet of Sun Ra live recordings made in 1966 shortly after the Arkestra moved to New York. They’re all previously unreleased and were evidently recorded in optimal conditions at University of Buffalo – the sound is beautifully lucid and and dynamic with a real sense of space and place together with the polite applause that closes each piece. In particular, the rendition of ‘Space Aura’ really captures Ra and his Arkestra at their loosest, most attuned.
