SUN RA

Welcome to our homage to Sun Ra and his Arkestra. Misunderstood and much under-rated during his time on Earth, Sun Ra's music is now receiving much attention and acclaim. Yet still, Sun Ra's vast canon of music can seem daunting and intimidating to the uninitiated, indeed even to experienced jazz collectors!

There is already a superb site dedicated to Sun Ra's works with far more knowledge and expertise than we can offer here, and a pictorial archive crammed with photos - so it is our humble aim simply to recommend our favourite Sun Ra tracks so that others may feel free to trust our taste and checkout some of the wonderful sounds of Ra and his Arkestra!
