    The first jazz show I ever saw was Sun Ra when I was 19. I haven't been the same ever since.

      Profound experience, indeed ...
      I was fortunate enough to see him and his Arkestra live twice in the 1986-1988 time period.
      Once in a small club in Greenwich Village where the Arkestra took up about one-third of the room, a place called 'Sweet Basil' then later in Philadelphia, the Chestnut Street Cabaret.
      At Sweet Basil the group did their customary 'processional' off stage and through the audience at the end of their last set. Sun Ra patted me, sitting in a aisle seat, on the shoulder as he walked by, while I enthusiastically tapped and snapped to the back beats.

    A cabdriver friend of mine once took Sun Ra and members of his band to the airport from Ann Arbor. He was describing the trip to me. He said, "We didn't *drive* to the airport, we *flew*!"

      @@louishead4495 I remember what I recall the second time seeing them in 74 or 75 maybe at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. I remember being lower case disappointed to see some members of the Arkestra sitting at the bar like normal humans lol. Not sure alot or any of them were actually drinking alcohol, saw in one doc or another most or all tend to avoid it, could be wrong. Anyway the tall guy who plays that conga with the sticks told me that Sun Ra had pointed at some tree across the street from their place in Philly and said it would be hit by lightning and he wanted him to make a drum out of it, which was the one he was using. Pulling my leg? Very possibly. But a cool story anyway. I think I'm remembering it right over 45 years.

      Agreed. This IS jazz, 'Standards' don't make sense at all. Jazz is a free-form expression, and Sun Ra and the Arkistra were pioneers. Parliment, Pfunk, Chilli Peppers, as well as the ecology movement were all influenced by this legendary artist.

      space is all around us but there is no NASA space program. They want us to believe there are aliens from other planets so they can stage a fake War of the Worlds alien invasion with Demon possessed Nephilim Giant/Animal hybrids created on private Rothschild islands. They unearthed Nephilim bones, cloned them & isolated the Giantism gene. By cross hybridizing species they can create any Giant Monster they've shown us in MK Ultra Hollywood movies including Dragons, Lycans, 60 Ft Great White Sharks, Leviathans, Giant Apes, Jeepers Creepers that look like Demonic Fallen Angels, Cat People, Bigfoot Wookies, ALIEN Scorpion hybrids & Dinosaurs that never existed millions of years ago. Think of all the different Lizard species, Giant Flying Fox Bats, Gators/Crocs, Giraffes, Rhinos, Elephants, Whales, Spiders, Scorpions & numerous other species they could cross hybridize & splice in the Giantism gene. Pelicans look a lot like Pterodactyls don't they ? Megalodon looks like a Giant Great White Shark that they may unleash for Ke11y Slater's final pro event which happens to be the 11th championship event of the WSL pro surfing tour in Hawa11, the Bi11abong Pipeline slave Masters Dec 8-20 with the 13th falling on a Friday. Slater won his 11th world title on 11-6-2011. Slater just turned 47 on Feb 11th. 4+11=11. Slater wears jersey #11. Revelation 9:11 They have over them a king, an Angel of the abyss whose name A-bad-don means Destroyer & so does A-pol-lyon.....The abyss is nothingness so who is the king of the abyss ? Lucifer aka Satan is the king of the abyss. The Twin Towers were symbolic of a giant #11. According to the official lie Flight 11 hit the N Tower at 14 minutes to 9 then 911 days later on 3-11-2004 they bombed the Madrid trains. On 9-11-1987 Peter Gabriel won 9 MTV awards for his video SLEDGEHAMMER. On 9-11-1992 HAARP engineered Hurricane Iniki hit Kauai for 3 hours. I is the 9th letter & K is the 11th letter of the alphabet. I check CNN's website daily & the #11 pops up way to often to be a coincidence. The occult love the number 11, they also love the numbers 3,6,9,13 & 18 with 18 containing 3-6's. Currently the Patriots & Steelers are tied at 6 Super Bowls each. SF & Da11as both have 5 each so is Da11as or SF going to win the 2020 SB to complete the 666 trifecta ? How many conference championships have the Pats won ? Silly question, 11 of course. The Yankees have won 27 World Series which is a multiple of 9....999 or an upside down 666. You've heard of the 27 club ? The UK emergency number is 999, the US emergency # is 911. The most popular Porsche is the 911. The end of WW1 was 11-11-1918 also recognized as Armistice day which is a national holiday. Did you know that Chicago has the ZIP codes 60666 & 60606 & they have an apartment complex called the Twin Towers Apartments. Next year will be 11 years since the Sears Tower in Chicago was renamed Wi11is Tower. Is Chicago the next 9-11 ? You'd have to ask the CIA or if you have any friends in the Illuminati they may know ? In Christopher Reeves movie Superman the Hoover dam breaks open which would take a massive earthquake or a HAARP Directed Energy blast. Hoover dam also is destroyed in Dwayne Johnson's San Andreas. When they HAARP the Hoover dam those 30 ft Angel statues will fall like Fallen Angels. Imagine the destruction trillions of water will do to the lakes & dams? Numerous areas rely on those dams for their water supplies including Nevada, LA & San Diego. I guarantee you they are going to destroy the Hoover dam & numerous other dams including dams along the Mississippi. They are using Directed Energy to create all weather systems/Geo disaster including hurricanes, tornadoes, drought, wildfire, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes & tsunamis. They are purposely destroying homes, crops , & drinkable water sources. Control the food & water & you control the commoners. It's obvious they are staging fake mass shootings with crisis actors who can't cry on cue. They interview parents who allegedly lost a child in a mass shooting hours before but there are no tears streaming down their faces ??? I guarantee you they will disarm America ! Then they will begin herding us into FEMA Death camps equipped with XL plastic stackable coffins, microwave death chambers & guillotines. Revelation 20:4 explains the guillotines.

    Note: Space Is The Place was originally released on Blue Thumb Records in 1973 as BTS-41. Impulse producer Ed Michel supervised the recording session. Impulse, then owned by ABC, was releasing many of Sun Ra's albums under a distribution agreement with Saturn Records during the same time. For these reasons Space In The Place has been returned to its rightful place on Impulse.

    Saw SUN RA at Squat Theatre in NYC near Chelsea (a space that became NELL'S, I believe) and could not believe how much PF had mined, for popular consumption, the migratory freedom of blues based sound that spread simultaneously into jazz, rock and funk. One of a kind card, and I mean 55th card in your purchased deck of 54, is this artist. Art Ensemble of Chicago is high brow Lawrence Welk compared with this Arkestra.

      P-Funk comparisons are more common than Pink Floyd. Almost forgot about Pink Floyd. I remember now that Yes with Rick Wakeman was also mentioned as being influence by Sun Ra. Quite possibly the technology and Sunny's use of it in the mid to late '50s is the source.

    • @bmuhamad
