Sun Ra: The Concert for the Comet Kohoutek



Sun Ra & the Intergalactic Space Research Arkestra in concert at the legendary Town Hall in New York in late 1973, honoring the cosmic phenomena of the moment, the Comet Kohoutek, which was (sort of) visible as it passed near earth. Not surprisingly, the band ranges from near standard big band form to wild and free improvisational explorations.
