Sun Ra Arkestra at Band on the Wall

Sun Ra was one of the greatest and least known jazz artists of the last four decades. He died in 1993 and would have turned 100 in 2014. The Arkestra performs today led by 90-year old alto saxophonist and long-time Ra collaborator Marshall Allen. Join them for this special celebration of Sun Ra’s 100th birthday, as the big band – fully dressed, as usual, in space capes with a hint of Ancient Egypt – blasts brass and keep the grooves rolling.
 
Tickets for tonight are still available from Band on the Wall.
