⦿Sun in ♊︎Gemini, Year of Wood 🐅Tiger
' Le Sony'r Ra (born Herman Poole Blount, May 22, 1914 – May 30, 1993), better known as Sun Ra, was an American jazz composer, bandleader, piano and synthesizer player, and poet known for his experimental music, "cosmic" philosophy, prolific output, and theatrical performances. For much of his career, Ra led "The Arkestra", an ensemble with an ever-changing name and flexible line-up.
Born and raised in Alabama, Blount became involved in the Chicago jazz scene during the late 1940s. He soon abandoned his birth name, taking the name Le Sony'r Ra, shortened to Sun Ra (after Ra, the Egyptian god of the Sun). Claiming to be an alien from Saturn on a mission to preach peace, he developed a mythical persona and an idiosyncratic credo that made him a pioneer of Afrofuturism. Throughout his life he denied ties to his prior identity saying, "Any name that I use other than Ra is a pseudonym."
His widely eclectic and avant-garde music echoed the entire history of jazz, from ragtime and early New Orleans hot jazz, to swing music, bebop, free jazz and fusion. His compositions ranged from keyboard solos to works for big bands of over 30 musicians, along with electronic excursions, songs, chants, percussion pieces, and anthems. From the mid-1950s until his death, Ra led the musical collective The Arkestra (which featured artists such as Marshall Allen, John Gilmore and June Tyson throughout its various iterations). Its performances often included dancers and musicians dressed in elaborate, futuristic costumes inspired by ancient Egyptian attire and the Space Age. Following Ra's illness-forced retirement in 1992, the band remained active as The Sun Ra Arkestra, and, as of 2021, continues performing under the leadership of veteran Ra sideman Marshall Allen.
Though his mainstream success was limited, Sun Ra was a prolific recording artist and frequent live performer, and remained influential throughout his life for his music and persona. He is now widely considered an innovator; among his distinctions are his pioneering work in free improvisation and modal jazz and his early use of electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Over the course of his career, he recorded dozens of singles and over one hundred full-length albums, comprising well over 1,000 songs, making him one of the most prolific recording artists of the 20th century.

Yeah, another barrel of Glen Passaic for delivery to this address. Note says: "Be sure to mention that this barrel had previously served as a cement overcoat for some guy."

Yesterday, a friend informed me that Sun Ra's Germantown house has been accorded historic status, saving it from imminent gentrification destruction. I'm not sure how that works with a mid-row rowhouse, but we'll take it.
I discovered Sun Ra in my mid-teens in the mid-70s through Philly's WXPN and WRTI (both stations suffered their own gentrification destruction in later decades), and he is one of the few musicians to maintain, for me, his full mythic power through to my own old age.
Books: Don't forget "This Planet Is Doomed," the poetry collection Kicks Books put out a while back.
And "Sun Ra's Chicago: Afrofuturism and The City" by William Sites. I toldjas a little while back that it is deeply academic prose, but worth the march. With a couple more months to soak in, I have to add that it provides a solid counter to the 'outsider genius' narrative that is usually applied to Ra. Sites makes a good case that Sonny learned from and was always involved with the African American communities of Birmingham and Chicago (and though the book concludes at the move to New York, later cities, like... consider the Pharaoh's Den grocery store in Philly). So yeah, step away from the outsider image and consider Sonny as a builder of community. Look at us, even!

It was a bit of a long walk back home if the bus schedule didn't accommodate ...so I got those hideous little $1 one shot bottles of gawd knows whuts & put them in my juice or whatever ...so I could nip & walk home without attracting attention with an open container ...that's some pretty awful alcohol. That's over anyway...
