KARL BLAU
A decade ago, when Karl Blau was still a lifetime fixture of the small but fertile creative enclave in Anacortes, Wash., he hosted a Sun Ra worship group on Monday nights. Open-minded locals who lived on Fidalgo Island would stop by to indulge in participating in free music and sound experimentation in the style of the astral traveler; given the day of the week, and the town’s general spirit of play, they called it Moon Raw. Four years later, Blau and his family of four finally left Anacortes for the opposite coast and, ostensibly, the opposite atmosphere—Philadelphia’s Germantown. Without planning, they wound up two blocks from the Arkestral Institute of Sun Ra, the three-story stone rowhouse that still serves as the collective’s headquarters and is now a National Historic Landmark. That was the first little miracle that led to Vultures of Love, the swaggering and irrepressible record that feels like the culmination of the first quarter-century of Blau’s career.
