SUN RA ARKESTRA

"SWIRLING"

Their first studio album in 20 years; a triumph in capturing the live experience of the Arkestra...

Sleeve design & logotype for the Sun Ra Arkestra (under the direction of Marshall Allen)'s first studio album in 20 years.

Recorded at Rittenhouse Soundworks in Philadelphia, the new recording represents the continuation of a heartfelt rebirth of the Arkestra under Allen’s guidance since Sun Ra left the planet in 1993, gaining new generations of followers from their regular touring across the globe. With a big band line-up featuring long-standing Arkestra members including Danny Ray Thompson (RIP), Michael Ray, Vincent Chancey, Knoel Scott, Cecil Brooks, Atakatune (RIP), Elson Nascimento and Tyler Mitchell, the album is a full-blooded celebration of Sun Ra’s legacy.
