Sun Ra Symposium at the Hyde Park Art Center.

Chicago, IL

Here's a slideshow of the whole day »

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.
