The group disbanded and reformed several times unitl they split up in 1981, with some of the members going into a latin jazz group called NADA. Music of BLUE SUN can itself be compared to some extent to other jazz acts of Denmark at the time, like BURNIN' RED IVANHOE or RAINBOW BAND/MIDNIGHT SUN. (progarchives)
