Angels and Demons at Play

by Sun Ra

Angels and Demons at Play cover art

Recorded across two distinct sessions spanning 1956 and 1960, this release captures the evolution of the Arkestra's sound. The A-side features sparse, percussion-heavy avant-garde explorations, while the B-side presents tighter, post-bop arrangements driven by the interlocking horn section of John Gilmore and Marshall Allen.
