Sun Ra Arkestra: Halloween Night in Storrs, CT



It was great to see the Arkestra up in the New England area for the first time in 2 1/2 years. Special thanx to Richard Segan of WHUS, 91.7 FM for hosting the show. That's Richard introducing the Arkestra along with two Sarah Palin impressionists (definitely a unique way to start an Arkestra concert). These photos come from Pete Brunelli's collection (thank you Pete) that is now posted at:

Arkestra members at last night's show are as follows:

Marshall
Michael
Charles
Knoel
Danny Ray
Cecil
Fred
Dave Davies
Farrid
Elson
Steve (drummer)
Juni
Dave Hotep
Brazillian (percussion)

We are trying to track down the name of the brazillian percussionist at last night's show. He is one of the original percussionists from the 1988 - 1989 time period. It's always nice to see an old Arkestra member rejoin the band.

Could it have been Elson Nascimento on percussion? He was with the Arkestra for the recent Toronto 'X-Avant' festival opener (Oct 21).
