Somewhere Else is an album by free jazz composer, bandleader and keyboardist Sun Ra released on the Rounder label.[1]

The album was released shortly before Sun Ra's death and features tracks recorded at the same sessions which produced the albums Blue Delight and Purple Night.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "Due to the variety and very interesting personnel, plus many examples of the keyboardist/leader stretching himself, this somewhat obscure effort is easily recommended to Sun Ra collectors".[2]
