Sun Ra Spring #111:Hendersonia: Sun Ra Performs Fletcher Henderson
https://t.co/qeD1nldXaB
Bouncy and at times wild versions of classic early jazz Henderson songs. One of Ra’s first musical loves. Great and fun.

Sun Ra messing around on a Moog over levels of drums, chimes, bass. A journey into space. It’s convincing that he really is from Saturn!

Sun Ra Spring #102: Hours After
https://t.co/sGoa693GZr
Cool mix of “regular” jazz, a wild out-there song and then a long percussion-heavy piece - weird in a quiet way.

Sun Ra Spring #98: The Ankh and the Ark
https://t.co/1I6KyAPPBY
An interview of Sun Ra by the great playwright Henry Dumas, a chunk from a longer conversation that was recorded over. Even Ra’s little chats are wild.

It’s like abstract painting - it looks easy but isn’t. Ra goes right on the edge but, under the tumult, uses the same skills and power he uses in more “regular” playing.

Everything can happen. This one with badass drums, Roger Blank, Lex Humphries and even the still performing Marshall Allen. Stars in the firmament, big comets. Nebulae, atoms glowing.

Ra seems at first to be just test-driving, but it’s real stuff, space-magic awesomeness. Apparently Bob Moog gave him one of the first ones to tour with! PERFECT.

Sun Ra Spring #86: My Brother the Wind, Vol. 2
https://t.co/fFuMaWE1AH
WILD WILD WILD - side 1 is great afro-future jazz with great sound. Crazy and fun. But side 2! Its Ra first messing with a prototype of a Moog!

It’s wild that this sort of free-wheeling solo-packed jazz seems tame after the super-out-there later stuff. Still, this is solid and good and won’t make my kids start hollering at me…

This would be a great intro to Sun Ra for someone just starting. Great playing, hints of cosmic craziness and just all over awesome. Dang https://t.co/q58vqBPbRC this dude.

INCREDIBLE. To go so far out but still be in control. It’s like F1 racing or wild drawing

Sun Ra Spring #74: The Soul Vibrations of Man
https://t.co/C6mahjp02L
Weird great flutes, chants, sound. Like a spell. Planets as heavens, acapella spells.

A weird new kind of jazz. I’m now trained to hear this stuff, it’s good. I’m ok with confusion, I like it.

It’s a good collection, and I love this place in his career where he is transcending things that he has mastered and going into uncharted space.

Sun Ra Spring #65: Strange Strings
https://t.co/EairjdXdAa
100% WILD Ra got a bunch of random stringed instruments and handed them out to and they just jammed even through they did not know how to play them "strings could touch people in a special way"
1/2 #sunraspring #sunra
Other tracks are just as great. SPACE IS THE PLACE, distorted guitar, amazing singing, backwards tape, just the BEST. Ancient and new at the same time. Another zine-album to sell at shows and WOW
