From 1978 to 1982 the Arkestra worked regularly at the Squat Theatre in New York City. A number of these concerts were taped by Saturn and some material was released, but it stands to reason that there are concert tapes of other performances. Michael Shore recalls that on one occasion the brass section consisted of Michael Ray-trumpet; Al Evans-trumpet; Ray Draper-tuba ... and Bill Davis-tuba
