After concluding their tours of the United States and Europe that began in the spring of 1988, they made their first visit to Japan on July 30. At this time, Sun Ra was 74 years old. After completing five performances across Japan, the tour's final show took place on August 8th at Shinjuku Pit Inn. During this Japanese performance, Sun Ra Arkestra delivered a remarkable performance, showcasing big band jazz, including standard tunes. The concert was characterized by intricate arrangements, individual virtuosity of each player, and a telepathic unity within the band. The performance was truly memorable, reminiscent of their peak era, as it demonstrated the mysterious space music through the sound vibrations of Sun Ra, the \"mythical scientist of sound\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun Ra Arkestra:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSun Ra: piano, synthesizer, vocals\u003cbr\u003e\nAhmed Abdullah: trumpet\u003cbr\u003e\nTyrone Hill: trombone\u003cbr\u003e\nMarshall Allen: alto sax, flute, percussion\u003cbr\u003e\nDanny Ray Thompson: baritone sax, percussion\u003cbr\u003e\nEloe Omoe [Leroy Taylor]: alto sax, bass clarinet, contra-alto clarinet, percussion\u003cbr\u003e\nJune Tyson: violin, vocals\u003cbr\u003e\nBruce Edwards: electric guitar\u003cbr\u003e\nRollo Radford: electric bass\u003cbr\u003e\nSamarai Celestial [Eric Walker]: drums\u003cbr\u003e\nEarl \"Buster\" Smith: drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed on black vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecorded at Shinjuku Pit Inn on August 8, 1988\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered from the original master tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst reissue in 26 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n FJSP503 -Artist-Sun Ra Arkestra\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sun Ra Arkestra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53427921191096,"sku":"0FS9HO-0985-BG","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/sun-ra-arkestra-live-at-pit-inn-tokyo-japan-8-8-1988_TvyHs.jpg?v=1777675715","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/sun-ra-arkestra-live-at-pit-inn-tokyo-japan-8-8-1988","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
