Marshall Allen presents Sun Ra and His Arkestra: In the Orbit of Ra
“Longtime Sun Ra reedman Marshall Allen’s well-curated In the Orbit of Ra covers as much ground (or, rather, space) as any one set can. Ra alights on almost all aspects of its bandleader’s multidimensional sound and presents a coherent trajectory through it, alternating between otherworldly explorations and earthbound beats.”
