Live At The East 1973

First up in the series, this previously unreleased live session recorded at the legendary Brooklyn venue The East in 1973.

Magical, mystical, Afrocentric, progressive - words that could be used to describe any number of musical compositions

by Sun Ra or his cosmic brothers and sisters, from John to Alice Coltrane, early '70s projects on record labels like Detroit's

Tribe or Houston's Lightin' or the interests of one Washington, DC native named Jimmy Gray that centered under one, perfect

moniker: Black Fire. Gray spent nearly three decades pushing boundaries as a Black American promoter, distributor and,

finally, record label owner. Together with Juju's leader James "Plunky Nkabinde " Branch, Gray oversaw sixteen releases on

Black Fire Records between 1975 and 1996.
