Product Details

Baltimore's Left Bank Jazz Society documented some of the most vital avant-garde performances of the 1970s, and this 1978 date captures the Arkestra at a particularly potent moment, deep into the cosmic mythology and collective improvisation that made Sun Ra one of the most singular bandleaders in jazz history. The Famous Ballroom was a beloved community venue where straight-ahead legends and outer-space explorers alike found a serious, listening audience.

Two CDs. Available for the very first time, the intergalactic icon Sun Ra and his Arkestra's Lights On A Satellite: Live At The Left Bank was recorded on July 23, 1978 at the Famous Ballroom in Baltimore, Maryland by the Left Bank Jazz Society.
