A magical performance is captured in the nearly 59 minutes of music, as the Sun Ra Arkestra delivers an astonishing array of styles before an appreciative audience.

The vocal of June Tyson sparkles on I Want You and Sun Ra delivers a fabulous rendition of Can You Take It?, but it's the tribute to Duke Ellington - Prelude to a Kiss - which brings added meaning to the holistic message of art.

The concert setting brought incredible musical interpretations from Sun Ra. His genius is on full display in this spectatcular soundscape.

This is my personal favorite of the pioneering Sun Ra Arkestra's late live recordings. This band could falt out swing, no matter how far into outer space Ra's compositions ventured. If you don't have any Arkestra recordings, this is a good one to start with.

I had the luck to visit Sun Ra Arkestra in Tbilisi Jazz Festival (end of eighties) and was shoked by what i see and listen. It was something that i realized after the concert and this night gave start to my Sun Ra albums collecting.But it's a another story. This is fantastic jazz album, with improvisations, with Heavy Metal Sound, Metallic Riffs and Noise, which is controlled by Virtuosso and Genius Man Sun Ra. I love all compositions especially, "If You Came From Nowhere Here" and "Interstellar Lo-Ways", which end's this show, a great composition from one of the first and excellent Sun Ra's album "Interstellar Lo-Ways" it continius sense of adventure and interstellar drama. Album represents great moments of Sun Ra's creative playing and his thinking, his playing take us on to other-world jorneys and it's something significant what Sun Ra can do. Album full of amazing arrangements and his Arkestra is grate to convey anergy and effective sound that is probably characterised Sun Ra's live shows.
