Sun Ra traveled and blazed his own musical path throughout his career. Live At Montreux, a two-CD reissue that has one of his most accessible recordings, features Ra's Arkestra coming up with their own versions of both swinging standards and futuristic originals. The 20-piece Arkestra, in addition to trumpets, trombones and saxophones, includes a bassoonist, a bass clarinetist, two drummers, two bassists and Ra on piano, solar organ and moog synthesizer. Their unique sound and wide-open approach were perfectly tailored by Sun Ra to express his innovative musical ideas
