Few bands have journeyed as far, both cosmically and musically. Founded in the mid-1950s by visionary Sun Ra in Chicago, Sun Ra Arkestra stands as a pioneering force in the realms of synthesiser innovation and free jazz. With a mission to spread positive vibrations and elevate the universe through music, Sun Ra Arkestra are renowned for their electrifying live performances that blend big-band swing, space-age free jazz, be-bop, singing, dancing, chanting, and Afro-pageantry. A trailblazer of Afro-futurism, they have released over 100 albums, including the Grammy-nominated Swirling in 2020. After more than 60 years, Sun Ra Arkestra continues their Inter-Galactic tour, captivating audiences worldwide with recent highlights at the Kennedy Center, Berlin Opera House, Burlington Jazz Festival, and Radio City Music Hall.
