Sun Ra & His Arkestra - Chicago Jazz Festival 1988

Sun Ra & Arkestra, live from Petrillo Music Shell, Chicago Jazz Festival, Chicago, IL on September 3rd 1988.

When Le Sony'r Ra, better known as Sun Ra, first moved to Chicago he famously took his epiphanic trip to Saturn. This legendary jam with the Arkestra, during the Chicago Free Jazz Festival, at Petrillo Music Shell on September 3rd 1988, broadcast on National Public Radio, shows the afrofuturist in all his glory. Performative, cathartic, and liberating, we are taken on a fantastical jazz journey.
