This is the soundtrack, and I think probably this is the first Sun Ra CD you should buy. It runs the range of Arkestra idioms, from African-inspired group drumming to free improvisation to swinging choruses. Concert for The Comet Kohoutek . A live recording from the 70s. More raw than some of the other recordings, but fierce and uncompromising.
Life Is Splendid.
John Gilmore, tenor saxophone. Total Energy NER 3026. A 1972 live recording. Purple Night . Don Cherry, pocket trumpet.
