"A veteran of Sun Ra's band of astral travelers, saxophonist and bandleader Marshall Allen carries on the jazz legend's legacy of uplifting spirits and upending musical expectations".

"Albummet elaborerer videre på den lyd, som man kender fra det sene Sun Ra Arkestras koncerter. En stor flok musikere, der sammen væver et kosmisk kludetæppe, som til tider fremstår rodet og overfyldt, men som ikke desto mindre besidder en transformativ energi. Sun Ra Arkestras force er ikke den ekvilibristiske musikalitet, men evnen til netop at agere som spraglet kollektiv, der sammen fremskaber en særlig psykedelisk version af jazzens historie".

"After revisting vintage Arkestra fare on 2020's 'Swirling', 'Living Sky' mixes up sensual reworks with Chopin and three gently tumbling Marshall Allen originals that let his kora/EVI/alto sax and Tara Middleton's violin/flute weave waif-like figures within warm, multi-layered big band arrangements".

"As their first recording since the pandemic, it strikes a delicate balance between mourning for the past and yearning for a greater yet still unknown future".
