Live At Montreux

VINYL FORMAT. Exact repro reissue on 180 gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold sleeve. Originally released in 1978, recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1976. A full 20-member Arkestra (plus dancers) turns in a typically freewheeling set. From 'Take the 'A' Train' (featuring a killer solo from Marshall Allen), to the gospel-influenced 'El Is a Sound of Joy,' to the almost exotica 'Lights on a Satellite,' to the free and raucous 'Gods of the Thunder Realm,' and on to 'We Travel the Spaceways,' the Arkestra covers as much musical territory in this set as anyone would expect from a live Sun Ra show. This is considered to be another classic in a vast discography.
