About this pressing

Recorded in 1965 and released on his own Saturn label the following year, The Magic City is one of Sun Ra’s boldest and most exploratory works. Named after his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, the album captures the Arkestra in full experimental flight — blurring the lines between free jazz, avant-garde, and cosmic soundscapes.

The sprawling 27-minute title track is a suite of shifting textures, percussive storms, and ensemble improvisation, while shorter pieces like The Shadow World and Abstract Eye showcase Ra’s adventurous use of rhythm and space. This is not background music — it’s a portal to another world.

Dense, challenging, and visionary, The Magic City is a landmark in free jazz and a must-own for collectors of avant-garde and spiritual jazz.
