      She shreds!!! I play violin and I’ve never seen a violin like that it’s so beautiful! I’m sad she wasn’t mic’ed well so you couldn’t hear the violin over the brass. I could hear but also imagine what it sounds like bc Ik what kinds of sounds she’s making just by watching her!! Doing improve like this has taught me so much about myself and my instrument like I cannot emphasize this enough. It has helped heal me

    I saw Sun Ra and his Arkestra around 1990 in a church in Victoriaville, Quebec. There was a young child of about 5 years old in front of me. Sun Ra's beat was so infectious the child couldn't help jumping up and down to their music. They had the audience swinging big time. They were great musically and visually.

    For all the naysayers... Sun Ra, his Arkestra, and his compositional approach to music is already soundly a part of Jazz's creative legacy worldwide, and let's not forget, that one of his original members, tenor saxophonist John Gilmore, once played with Art Blakey and became an inspirational favorite to John Coltrane. Music historically, has not been merely an entertainment activity and most of the ethnic music played for millenniums in diverse places throughout the world would be just as aversive to the modern American music consumer's ear as what is being rejected in this video. Americans listeners and audiences especially, have always been decades behind culturally. for even traditional Jazz musicians can barely work here and are starved into submission, obscurity, or in too many cases, exile.

      I first heard "Heliocentric Worlds" in the late 60's and it sounded completely disorganized to me. After a few decades of studying and playing jazz, it sounds completely different, like a compressed iteration of all of music history. It was that record that had made me start studying music with intense passion to begin with.

    This is about honest feeling and energy, not about presenting archetypical imagery that seeks to please its audience. To those of you who hate on this, but appreciate more contemporary jazz, please listen to Jazz in Silhouette, Supersonic Jazz, or maybe The Bad and the Beautiful before righting off the word of Ra. You can't deny there's some kind of wizardry afoot behind the Arkestra after listening to their more "normal" stuff. It's very organic, alive music. It's not quite the same without Ra's mastery of vibes, but with that said, Farid Barron is probably the only pianist I could imagine playing in for the Sun God, and I've never really heard much of him. That beautiful being needs to release a solo album stat.

      That’s because it’s a soundtrack for the de- assimilation movement meant for deeper philosophical critical thinking and to the active need to repair the conscious movement of revolutionary love so maybe you experienced an ego death of sorts? Not uncommon to experience with Sun Ra s compositions as it’s disarming dismantling reflecting not so much escapism but I enjoy both- this music reminds of sound clippings of documentaries dissecting conflict resolution of race, culture and humanities mental record of the 1950’s. What have we learned from the times of
      The civil Rights Renaissance? How far has humanity come? Where is our current state of public memory and evolution from the divisive margins that had kept us separated or othered? and How do we push back on those same similar challenges now? What’s the life lessons of basic humanism ? We need our Humanity in tact now more than ever as we confront the fears of culture wars to diffuse them with intelligent emotional responses that lead us to collective rationale - the rationale mentality of not destroying ourselves, eachother or this planet we must learn to co exist in together. That’s what Sun Ra evokes me to lean into the complex to extract the simplicity- back to human to humanity.

When Ra was still with us the celestial ensemble gave the most swinging concerts the first day of Kwanzaa at The Painted Bride, with everyone beautifully free and easy dancing and grooving. And I remember the even earlier Ra ensemble when I lived in NYC (my home town) in the 1960s, playing at places like Slug's on what was then the way way lower east side. Anybody with me on this? Ahh love! joy! beatific bliss!!!

You ought to listen to some of the albums that Sun Ra made when he was alive -- I mean, in our space. A lot of them are on youtube. He was Mozart in the 22nd century, or something like that.

      I have lots of respect for Sun Ra's music and Arkestra. However, dear friend, when I read this comment it sounds soo hipster. This is very far from what free jazz impro is, where purpose is to get human and instruments into limits, by breaking structures or playing instruments with different forms. For instance, drums with rocks in the snare.. this is sort of an underground culture which started the 80s in right now is very alive, specially in cities with underground students atmosphere as Basil, Strasbourg, some parts of New York... You can listen to Natura Mortem for instance or get in rush hour store to catch-up that scene. But never say this is free jazz. And even less, never say people must acquire a taste or develop capacities for this, never. Music is free, Jazz is free.. Jazz is not music. Jazz is jazz

    Saw them last night with KV! Kurt came out late on their set and played guitar with them for a bit but at first, his guitar wasn’t working but as soon as he got his Jazzmaster on, his playing added to the performance

    The best music is the stuff you have to actively listen to. This is not passive background music. It demands your attention.

    Although I don't like seeing so many negatives, if someone has an honest response or some intelligence, more power to them. God knows there are many insipid Tiny Desk Concerts. However, Ra is not the case. Sun Ra and his paradox always makes your brain itch and simultaneously scratches it. Chaos courts precision, cheesy show biz cross-pollinates with spontaneous, honest, fun music. If you want another Tiny Surprise check out the T-Pain Tiny Desk show. Who woulda known?
