Sun Ra Arkestra, Union Chapel, Islington, London (GB) - May 24, 2019

Another great gig with the Arkestra. The familiar repertoire which included Stranger In Paradise, Hocus Pocus and Space Is The Place. Marshall Allen on alto sax/electronic instruments; both Knoel Scott and Danny Ray Thompson on baritone sax (the latter flute as well); Tara Middleton was again the singer; other musicians played trumpet, trombone, French horn, tenor sax/flute, piano/keyboard, double bass, drums, percussion. Several probably were with the band a couple of years ago. Just about everyone also played percussion of various kinds, Scott and Thompson in particular. Everyone contributed vocals and the show began with a declamatory vocal by an unknown performer who spent the rest of the time in the audience. Long may this band continue.
