Sun Ra Arkestra includes: Sun Ra (vocals, piano, organ, synthesizer); June Tyson (vocals); Marshall Allen (alto saxophone, flute); John Gilmore (tenor saxophone); Danny Ray Thompson (baritone saxophone, flute); Walter Miller (trumpet); Vincent Chancey (French horn); Tyrone Hill (trombone); James Jacson (bassoon, drums); Hayes Burnett (bass); Samarai Celestial (drums); Atakatune (conas, percussion). Producer: Dick O'Dell. Reissue producer: John Corbett. Recorded at Variety Studios, New York, New York in September 1982. Originally released on Y Records. Includes liner notes by John Corbett. All tracks have been digitally remastered. This is part of Atavistic's Unheard Music Series. Avant-jazz maven, cosmic thinker, and traveler of spaceways Sun Ra always had an underlying pessimism in his future-longing philosophy. NUCLEAR WAR, a rare Arkestra outing from 1982, stands as apocalyptic corollary to his 1970s space exploration anthem, "Space Is the Place." With its swinging mix of standards and originals--including Ra's humorously profane call-and-response rapping on the title track--the album is among the most accessible in his entire oeuvre. A cautionary message relevant for all future eras, NUCLEAR WAR is essential for insights into Ra's eccentric yet spiritually uplifting credo.
