The Sun Ra Arkestra (led by Marshall Allen) played Cafe Oto last night, as part of a 2-day residency that followed their 5-day residency (extended due to the Icelandic volcanic ashes) in the same East London intimate venue last April.
Out of sheer laziness, I haven't posted the photos I took back then yet. Those include some off-stage portraits of the musicians and I'll make sure to post them in the future. Here is the latest batch of live photos of this amazing and seminal band.

The Sun Ra Arkestra (led by 87-year old legend Marshall Allen) returned to Cafe Oto this month for their third residency. I was lucky enough to see them for the fourth time. As you'd expect, they delivered an incredible performance. Hopefully these shots will show a little of the Arkestra's unique chemistry.
