one quite exciting result of buying this cheapo cd player is digging into my CD piles and seeing exactly how many Sun Ra albums I have.
Five.
I mean five seems a lot to me.
It doesn't compare to the torrent I had once which had over a hundred albums, but five is still a solid number.
It's tempting to imagine Sun Ra started off being conventionally jazzist and progressively got further out as time passed, but actually he was far far far out from the very beginning.

“Again though, a recording has to speak to me. I’m not looking to chase down just any tape. It’s gotta hit a nerve. Just because I get to be a kid in a candy store doesn’t mean all that candy gets eaten or shown to the public. We must be guardians. We have to be the keepers of the flame. We need to look out for the best for these artists and their legacies. Especially when they’re not here to defend themselves. The project has to do something to complement their legacy, or we’re not going to put it out. ” - Zev Feldman

"The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra" - makes some thrilling sonic sense. Liner notes suggest sharing with friends who think all Sun Ra and friends ever made was noise, but really what would be wrong with that, right?

Happy day of arrival to Sun Ra. Born May 22 1914. A cosmic force and source of endless inspiration.🖤

#jazzfest stop 4: back at the opera house, 98-year-old #MarshallAllen & 16-piece #arkestra play the living music of #SunRa. potent "angels & demons at play" tonight, deep blues sung by tara middleton, & a few solo turns by bassist tyler mitchell. also, in my 25 years seeing the arkestra (!?), i've somehow never seen one of their costumes accidentally turned into a saturnian disco ball. #jazz #nyc
