Please note the differing tracklist between the CD \u0026amp; LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arkestra were at the peak of their powers in 1977, releasing revered albums like The Soul Vibration Of Man and My Favorite Things with Arkestra regulars Marshall Allen, Danny Ray Thompson, Michael Ray and Luqman Ali among the core musicians. Ra also continued his touring in Europe with historic gigs in Italy. During this period, Arkestra live performances were often loosely structured into thematic blocks that moved from reflections on jazz history to cosmic “space narrative” sections featuring collective chants, extended Africa\/Egypt-inspired grooves and selections from the Great American Songbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis recording brings in all of these features with re-imagined versions of standards like ‘Take The “A” Train’, ‘St. Louis Blues’ and title track ‘Over The Rainbow’ alongside rarely recorded Ra compositions like ‘Make Another Mistake’ and ‘Amen Meni Many Amens’. Ra conducted improvisations to guide the listener seamlessly from one musical scene to the next. As Sun Ra himself described it: “It’s like a party—we enjoy ourselves and everybody’s invited to enjoy it with us.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1d68rll0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"_1d68rll1\"\u003eSIDE A\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"_1d68rll2\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eShadows Of Infinity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003ePleiades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eDiscipline 27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eBluebird Set #2 Piano Solo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1d68rll0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"_1d68rll1\"\u003eSIDE B\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"_1d68rll2\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eEquation Of The Myth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eNeptune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eYesterdays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1d68rll0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"_1d68rll1\"\u003eSIDE C\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"_1d68rll2\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eSt. Louis Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eThe Mystery of Two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eWe Live To Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1d68rll0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"_1d68rll1\"\u003eSIDE D\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"_1d68rll2\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eAmen Meni Many Amens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eSaturn Speaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eImages In A Mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1d68rll0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"_1d68rll1\"\u003eSIDE E\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"_1d68rll2\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eTake The A Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eMake Another Mistake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eBluebird Shuffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1d68rll0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"_1d68rll1\"\u003eSIDE F\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"_1d68rll2\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eOuter Reach Intensity Energy \/ Cosmos Rendezvous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eNext Stop Mars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eOver The Rainbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eIll Wait For You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Urbanrecords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49423470756067,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2333\/3945\/files\/898645-Product-0-I-639178190403596398.webp?v=1784365607","url":"https:\/\/urbanrecords.com.au\/products\/sun-ra-somewhere-over-the-rainbow-3lp","provider":"Urbanrecords","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
