Sun Ra Arkestra

When avant-garde bandleader Sun Ra departed this planet in 1993, he left the funkiest, swingingest band in the Milky Way here on Earth. Captained now by saxophonist Marshall Allen, the Arkestra still plays the intergalactic, big-band free jazz favored by its founder (the sequined Afrofuturist costumes are also still a major part of the show).
