he mixed avantgarde jazz, traditional egyptian music (marches etc), american music like swing and blues and electronic experimentation. he lived from 1910 - 1993. sun ra himself described his music as "painting pictures of infinity" and generally you say that "many people dont get him". but whatever, that's jazz geeks with no open mind. albums - Atlantis - Space Is The Place - Strange Celestial Road or It's After The End Of The World |

I really like the albums: Lanquidity, Magic City, both Solar Myth Approach's. My local record store has a large portion of his discography on vinyl and cd. They're 2 dvds available too that I was looking at today. |

what are his dvds like? i heard about "cry of jazz", i wanted to buy it but then saw it's only 35 minutes, not much for 40 euros. what's the other dvd? |

make a thread when you have listened to it or such. |

Yes, one was the cry of jazz, the other was called A Joyful Noise and I was tempted to buy it at £16, I didn't though because I forgot which one i was recommended, I was just that Joyful Noise is supposed to be good though. |
