Sun Ra's Nuits de la Fondation Maeght recordings are legendary within his extensive canon. Across two nights in August 1970, these were the first concerts Ra and the Arkestra had performed outside North America and formed part of a stellar festival line-up alongside Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor, LaMonte Young and Marian Zazeela. Prior to Maeght, The Arkestra's early years in New York had been lean in terms of gigs, money and visibility. Their precarious situation improved after Ra's participation in the 1964 October Revolution concerts and the release of the breathtaking 'Heliocentric Worlds' LPs.
