About:
Sun Ra lived as a true jazz renegade at a time when Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk flourished. He was idiosyncratic both in personality and his eclectic music. He was forthright in his enigmatic self-estimation as an alien from the planet Saturn who came to earth on a mission to preach peace.
Renowned documentary film director Robert Mugge decided to spend three years peering into the life of the colorful Sun Ra and his rowdy band mates. One reviewer wrote of the underappreciated and relatively unknown 1980 film, Sun Ra: A Joyful Noise, that it was not only “a performance film, but also as a record of the famous composer, keyboardist, bandleader’s purposely odd personal and professional life.”
Mugge captures the dramatic Sun Ra in conversation as he expounds on his Afrofuturistic mythology and his adventures with his big band Intergalactic Omniverse Arkestra. He also notes that “mystery is my story.” The ecstatic multi-horn, multi-percussion band is captured during rehearsals and in concert at two clubs (at Philadelphia’s Danny’s Hollywood Palace and in Baltimore at the Famous Ballroom). Tunes included “Astro Black,” “Along Came Ra,” “We Travel the Spaceways” and “Requiem for Trevor Johnson (Discipline 27).”

If it wasn't for Madlib I probably never would have discovered this man. Everything he speaks is so true and real.

Living in Germantown at that time and knowing Sun Ra was a short walk away was powerful as a fan of his. Seeing the 45s at Third Street

Marshall Allen still lives there at 100 years old
Fortunately for us, he recorded at any time & in any conditions. We have been granted a huge body of work spanning over half a century (earth time). I just wish we had more sheet music available. Maybe we should try to transcribe it ourselves…

It sounds like many of the ..DISCIPLINE (studies).It’s also much like...ANCIENT ETHIOPIA...I also think it might appear on the live...CONCERT FOR THE COMET.......anyway I think it’s the most evocative tune of the film.Sorry I couldn’t pin-point it but I have now forgotten most of my Sun Ra knowledge from when I was an obsessed fan 20 years ago.

hippies yay it was the most fertile period of music in the cosmos, so many changes, new music, culture, politics , ethics, make love not war - who can argue? love is one of the fundamental forces of the Universe. Try it.. Hippies were the first environmentalists taught us we should look after the Earth but we blew it. No wonder the Ra went back to Saturn.

Absolutely full of shit. But full of shit in the most wonderful, entertaining and very occasionally profound way. Some of the music was pretty good too!
