⦿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.

* Waiting for the Sun, aka Sun Ra Day Punch:
750ml Glen Passaic
2 liters seltzer
6 lemons, sliced
1kg young sugarcane, peeled and sliced
1 large bunch mint
1 icy asteroid from Saturn's belt

In a large silver punch bowl, combine Glen Passaic, lemons, sugarcane, and mint. Allow to macerate 24-48 hours. At time of serving, stir in seltzer, and, from boom of construction crane, toss in icy asteroid. Makes 24 servings, and a large splash.

I think it was 1981, Poobah Records in Pasadena put on a Sun Ra show at Myrons Ballroom in downtown Los Angeles. It was a wild affair with one of the guys(Marshall Allen?) on a wire flying over the audience in a space suit. All the freaks in L.A. were there. Years later I was talking to Richard, one of the guys that worked at Poobah at the time. He told me it was his job to ferry the bands equipment down the Pasadena Freeway to the show. He said he was blazing on acid and the normally twisty-turny freeway was like trying to drive a miniature van thru a bowl of noodles. After he got to the venue and helped unload the gear, one of the guys in the asked if he could, um, entertain a young lady he encountered walking down the street. Richard stood guard as the van was set a'rocked....while peaking on acid!

Saw the Arkestra many times in the 80's and 90's. One of the great things about going to see him often was you never knew what to expect. Sure, they played "out", chanted about space, but they could just as easily go into a perfect Fletcher Henderson or Ellington arrangement.

A few years ago, Chresti and I went to a reading by John Corbett at The Box in downtown L.A. John wrote an inciteful memoir about digging through the tomb of Sun Ra's artifacts in a Chicago basement. It's funny, tender and harrowing. All the artwork from the millions of albums Sun Ra put out was was there - three inches from the landfill it seems. It's a cautionary tale for collectors of rare vinyl. A personal exploration of pathology written by a guy who on the surface appeared to be truly together. Collectors beware!

Everyone has an introduction to Sun Ra. Mine was Night of the Purple Moon. For the most part it eschews the wilder sonic explorations in favor of quite and meditative pieces on the Rocksichord. In 1974, I found this records at a friends parents house in rural Michigan, and drove back across the country to Los Angeles in a thoughtful state of mine wondering what the hell it was. When I got back to my parents house and put it on the stereo in the living room I was transported not to outer space, but the arid planes of Wyoming. It became my default late night record for thoughtful reflection.

Happy Sun Day, Stork and Sun Lovers. I've been in and out (mostly out) since this morning.

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!

I'll go for a good lager if no dark beer is around, Franco. In that sissy brigade. Ale will do as well. Wheat beer, white beer, I haven't gotten a taste for.

Mexican beer is German beer, as many of the big breweries in Mexico were founded by German immigrants. The Mexican versions are better for my money...

Okay Onion! Going out to cantinas in Mexico is an exalted pleasure.

Glen Passaic neat, Naragansett back. To me, English Real Ale, cask-conditioned, cellar-cool, soft-textured and malty af, is the best of all possible beers; but, on a hot day in Brooklyn…

...hell - last lousy job I had - a NewHampshuh Liquor Store was right next to the place (NH has no Sales Tax so this is a thing in this region...)
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...
Man I dream of West Coast foods again...

Tripel Karmeliet is my go-to beer at my fave venue. It's convenient because even at a very loud show, I only have to nod to get a refuel. I hope it works here as well, but for Glen Passaic *nods*

RR, as you know, being busted flat on the West Coast is not the pain that empty pockets on the East Coast is. Wake up on the beach or under a palm tree and walk to some very affordable Mexican food - then dwell on your fate while licking your fingers.

Sometimes I go to the dog-park, 6 blocks from here, and I think about the room that used to be underneath it, where I saw the best of all the Arkestra shows I ever had the pleasure to attend. The scuzziest hotel in town used to stand there...a music venue occupied its basement just before exodus of heroin addicts and hookers crawled away from the bulldozers.

Franco - may Gawd grant me the grace of never being Homeless - especially in the Great State of Federated Californian Theme Parks for the Rich & Famous - ever ever again. That is - have I not done enuff of that... NH is Nothing & going exactly Nowhere - but in Pandemic Times I'm actually leading a pretty good little meaningless existence as a filhty little U.S. Amurikan Socialist ...tho some of these benefits may be transferable to other States ...in Theory...

Amazing marathon effort today, Storkerino. And, tbh, if space is the place, and space and time are one, as matter and energy are one, the temporal discontinuities may be evidence of his continuing Presence.

I posted these earlier, but that was days ago (at the beginning of this show). Links to many Sun Ra downloads, and a short guide to them.

From the bios I read, Sun Ra shed his name (it was legally changed to Le Sony'r Ra), as he didn't want to keep his slave name, from a family that wasn't his.
