A very special concert at London's Barbican on Tuesday March 10th at 7:30pm
Jerry Dammers Spatial A.K.A. Orchestra present Cosmic Engineering a Tribute to Sun Ra and other musical mavericks
The spirit of intergalactic jazz traveller Sun Ra watches over the latest project from the Specials and 2-Tone founding father Jerry Dammers: a hypnotically grooving, 19 member cosmic funk ensemble.
With blistering arrangements that conjure up the outer-spatial sounds of the Arkestra and fellow interplanetarians like Alice Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders, the Spatial AKA Orchestra combines an unstoppable rhythm section with rap vocals and mystic incantations from Anthony Joseph and Francine Luce, aided and abetted by superlative jazzers including Larry Stabbins, Jason Yarde, Denys Baptiste and Finn Peters.
Its visually stunning, too, the musicians performing swathed in glittering robes. This concert opens up a new dimension in sound - the majestic space where Astral jazz meets Exotica and Funkadelic jam with King Tubby at the controls.

Produced by Barbican in Association with Serious; part of EAST
