Sun Ra and His Arkestra were among the most visionary and boundary-defying forces in jazz history, blending avant-garde improvisation, cosmic philosophy, and raw live energy into something entirely their own. Hidden Fire, released by Strut Records, captures the Arkestra in electrifying form during live recordings made at The Knitting Factory in New York on January 29th and 30th, 1989, originally issued across multiple volumes on Sun Ra's own Saturn Records label.
This release brings together material from those original Saturn Records volumes, offering a compelling document of Sun Ra's improvisational brilliance and the Arkestra's unmatched collective power. Spanning pieces like "Hidden Fire Blues," "Hidden Fire Improvisation," and "My Brother the Wind and Son #9," the album showcases the restless creativity and spiritual intensity that made Sun Ra one of jazz's most enduring and singular figures.
