Captured live at the Bluebird in Bloomington, Indiana in the summer of 1977, Somewhere Over The Rainbow showcases the Sun Ra Arkestra at a fascinating point in their ever-evolving cosmic journey. Released on Sun Ra's own El Saturn Records, this recording documents the band's unique blend of avant-garde jazz and electronic experimentation in an intimate live setting.
As a late-1970s live Sun Ra album, Somewhere Over The Rainbow stands out as a particularly strong entry in his vast and adventurous catalog. The Arkestra's fearless approach to jazz — weaving together swing-era standards with free improvisation and Sun Ra's otherworldly electronic textures — makes this a compelling listen for both longtime devotees and those just beginning to explore his singular musical universe.
