THE SUN RA ARKESTRA LIVE!
Showtimes
Mississippi Records brings back the Sun Ra Arkestra for three nights, each night with a completely unique set and visuals on the big screen!
You can experience all three shows at a reduced rate with the 3-Show Pass!
The Sun Ra Arkestra has been around for seventy years - playing endless shows, releasing over 340 records and honing in on the most cosmic deep music imaginable. Currently a fifteen person big band composed of top shelf musicians, the Arkestra are the most important living musical institution in the world.
For three special nights the band will explore the breadth and depth of their catalog through unique conceptual sets -
11/19 - SLUMMING ON PARK AVENUE
11/20 - FATE IN A PLEASANT MOOD
11/21 - WE TRAVEL THE SPACEWAYS
..we'll leave it to you to figure out what these themes will actually sound like (the band are purposely keeping us in the dark - excited to blow our minds with surprising twists and turns).
All these shows will have projections on the big screen as the band plays. Night one and three feature a collage film made by Shelby Menzel of cosmic images and scenes from the Arkestra's past. Night two features THE SPOILER ROOM filming the band live and projecting their image on the big screen with all kinds of trippy effects (and - they use all analog equipment to do it! True artist.)
If you've seen the Arkestra before, you know this is a show not to miss. if you haven't seen them, don't sleep! Come listen to the cosmic altar destiny music of the future.
