THE OTHER WORLDS OF SUN RA ON ARCHIVE DOT COM

from the SATURN newsgroup
Hi Folks,
Here for your listening pleasure is our new Sun Ra radio documentary feature
http://www.archive.org/details/TheOtherWorldsOfSunRa
Enjoy!
John

In the history of post-war jazz in the US, perhaps the strangest and most mysterious figure is Sun Ra. An outstanding pianist, composer, arranger and big band leader, he was also a science fiction philosopher, Afro Futurist poet and self-declared citizen of Saturn.

Sun Ra's life project mixed a fascination with outer space with his African roots and wildly expressive music, which continues to delight and inspire audiences almost two decades after he left the planet.

The Other Worlds of Sun Ra features writer and activist Amiri Baraka, who collaborated with Ra in the New York underground of the 1960s. Sun Ra's archivist and one-time drummer, Michael D. Anderson, gives an insider's perspective of playing with Ra and his Arkestra. There are readings from Sun Ra's pamphlets and poems as well as the voice of the man himself. And of
course -- plenty of Sun Ra's weird, beautiful and other-worldly music.
