- The two-disc retrospective is coming soon on Strut Records.
Gilles Peterson has overseen a Sun Ra compilation for Strut.
The collection, titled Gilles Peterson Presents Sun Ra And His Arkesta, features music from the cosmic jazz legend's various projects—Sun Ra And His Arkestra, Sun Ra Quartet, etc—as well as some solo music. The tracklist is littered with previously unreleased tracks, including a live version of Sun Ra classic "Space Is The Place." The compilation will be available on vinyl and CD formats. Peterson has long been a fan of Sun Ra's iconic brand of jazz—in a Playing Favourites feature from 2014 he described it as his "favourite music."
