I have been listening to the music of Sun Ra since the mid-1970s. His Arkestra performed somewhere in Washington, DC right around that time. I didn’t attend the show (I was broke), but a few friends did. I believe it was at a church. My friends who attended maintained a certain ecstatic energy for a few days. One of them insisted Sun Ra and his music had released this ecstasy within every concertgoer. Although I was skeptical, I understood what he meant when I finally did see Sun Ra and the Arkestra a couple years later. A new release from the Jazz Detective label reminded me of those times. Simply titled Sun Ra at the Showcase Live in Chicago 1976-1977, this recording comes awful damn close to unleashing that same ecstasy.
