Product Description
Review
"Known for his talent as a jazz composer, bandleader and keyboardist . . . Sun Ra also made a name for himself with his ''cosmic philosophy, '' which curious fans everywhere can now read thanks to The Wisdom of Sun-Ra. . . . For those wanting to look further into Sun Ra's philosophies-and willing to spend the $20 to do so-The Wisdom of Sun-Ra contains a treasure trove of material." -- Roxana Hadadi "Jazz Times" (08/17/2006)
Product Description
From the "Arkestra" to his experiments with synthesizers, Sun Ra was one of the most inventive jazz musicians in history. Yet, until now, there has not been a collection of his earliest writings that reveal the beginnings of his work as philosopher, mystic, and Afro-Futurist. This new volume unveils over forty newly discovered typewritten broadsheets on which Sun Ra expounded his wholly unique philosophical message. While in Chicago during the mid-1950s, Sun Ra preached on street corners and occasionally created scripts to accompany his lectures - intricate texts that invoke science fiction, Biblical prophecy, etymology, and black nationalism. Until this point, the only broadsheet known to exist was one given to John Coltrane in 1956. Now, these newly unearthed writings attest to the provocative brilliance that inspired Coltrane. Sun Ra annotated many of them by hand, and together the sheets reveal fascinating new aspects of his worldview. "Sun Ra: The Broadsheets" is an invaluable compendium of writings by one of the most intriguing and influential jazz figures of the century.
