We were blessed with an incredibly rare visit from the Sun Ra Arkestra in January, and the blessings have multiplied; they’re returning for a three-night engagement at the Hollywood. The Arkestra performs the music of its namesake, legendary jazz pioneer Sun Ra, who brought together big band, avant-garde, free jazz, and cosmic exploration, leaving behind a unique artistic legacy now being kept alive by 95-year-old Arkestra bandleader Marshall Allen. If you slept on those sold-out January shows, don’t miss these
