Sun Ra Arkestra - Lights on a Satellite (2024) Music

Posted by Fizzpop at Nov. 26, 2024

As if from the farthest reaches of space, a tremendous positive energy has come to us via "Light on a Satellite": It is Sun Ra's music, played by his Arkestra, more than 30 years after the legendary band founder's earthly demise - or, in other words, after his reported ascent to Saturn. Under the direction of Marshall Allen, the NEA Jazz Master (2025) and multi-instrumentalist, who celebrated his 100th birthday on May 25, 2024, Sun Ra's big band has arrived safely in the 21st century, after traveling Sun Ra's space ways for almost 70 years. This album pays tribute to the lifetime achievement of Marshall Allen, who leads the Sun Ra Arkestra since 1993. Recorded in Studio A at New York's Power Station on June 16, 2024, the album celebrates the mastery of the exceptional musician Marshall Allen as a multi-instrumentalist, arranger, bandleader, teacher, and guardian of Sun Ra's unique legacy.

Despite the fact that Sun Ra has over 1,000 titles copyrighted in his name, a good part of his concert and recorded repertoire consisted of works by other composers. He arranged—in his idiosyncratic way— tunes by Monk, Gershwin, Henderson (Fletcher and Horace), Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, and countless others. But no one breezed into Sun Ra set lists more often than the "Duke"—Edward Kennedy Ellington.

À la tête de son Arkestra, Sun Ra a enregistré plus de 200 albums, le plus souvent sur son label Saturn depuis la fin des années 50. Vénéré (ou détesté) pour ses compositions à tiroirs et ses performances phénoménales autant que pour la bizarroïde philosophie cosmique qu'il prêchait, le pianiste d’Alabama fut un bruitiste qui influencera de nombreux acteurs de la scène expérimentale des années 70 à nos jours. Un créateur à part que ce Sun Ra répétant inlassablement : « Certaines personnes sont contrôlées par des forces venues d’autres planètes. J’en fais partie, donc je ne suis pas réellement libre ».
