This is a fantastic sound quality. I had this album back in the 1970s, a plain black and white album cover on the esp label. Sun Ra and his arkestra I think are one of the most crucial collection of musicians in all of black music. His range was so all encompassing, from Fletcher Henderson to beyond.
***** Yeah, and like there were white dudes in the arkestra (LOL) and "jazz" originally meant "f***k" ... stupid douche bag... So don't ever call it jazz music!
***** Of course, music has no color. There are Afro-American Classical musicians and there are white jazz musicians. Why are you so quick to call people racists when it is just a matter of words? You don't even know me. I get annoyed when people on threads call each other names. It is so childish and adolescent.
***** And honestly Stuey. Even if I were a white supremacist living in the Aryan Nation compound in the panhandle of Idaho, would I be listening to Sun Ra? LOL
+SuperStuey2 oh my freaking God. So saying the true fact that this music was made by black people, is now racist?? He literally is praising black music and that's racism. What is this world coming to.....
i listen to ra almost religiously every night before i go to sleep-funnily enough his avant/abstract stuff as opposed to his more trad stuff.I listen to that when im hyper.
I cannot believe I have recently just found out about Sun-Ra and his music. Everything I've heard by him is mind blowing! Thank you for uploading this and other Sun Ra songs Pharomba!
The Dead tended to transcend noisy quality recordings too, the excellence of the performances shine through the medium. that's an almost lost, very very fine art.
Absolutely to the point, your comment, thx! Listening to newer and better produced LPs such as "Unity" (which appeared on the italien Label HORO) display the beautiness and power of the arkestra.
@satyr68 yeah. So goes the spontaneity. It does homogenize the sound I guess. I've noticed atonal music sometimes can benefit from homogenization like that. Not always. Gorgeous piece.
This is the one, folks...THIS IS IT. Crank this up LOUD and blow the minds of everyone within earshot. It'll be good for them.
Amazing! One of the greatest Sun Ra tracks ever!
TheSUNRA21 m

***** And Amiri Baraka (Leroi Jones) wrote a book called Black Music, so tell the publishers to change the title, you politically correct douche bag!

ChildhoodTimeMachine if you want to read a book about this mystical man check out Space is the Place: The Life and Times of Sun Ra by John Szwed.
I have this cd. Absolutely magical ( no pun intended). I'm hard pressed to find ANY music of Sun Ra I don't like.
This awesome track recalls me the great movie Le roi et l'oiseau , The king and The mockingbird, by Paul Grimault and Jacques Prevert

thanx for the upload
Sick track.
@Robinsonization: Nice comment, thx! It's a shame that most people don't know about good music, especially the one Mr. Ra produced.
@satyr68 yeah. So goes the spontaneity. It does homogenize the sound I guess. I've noticed atonal music sometimes can benefit from homogenization like that. Not always. Gorgeous piece.
Amazing, thank you for sharing this.
Jazz Time!

I'm not about to report this, but does anyone know if this is public domain?

Some of this almost sounds like dub. [!]
CORRECTION "dub" almost sounds like this piece made in 1965.
