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.

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.
