    Sun Ra was a futurist music cosmologist! He is about the most profound musician to date, John Coltrane was going into this landscape. NO ONE has a more DEEPER or FUTURISTIC INTROSPECTION on MUSIC THAN SUN RA! Personally as a spiritual human and a musician I cannot TOUCH SUN RA!

      these copyright holders are so unexplainable stupid.
      they don`t get it that to put up a movie on you tube is a great promotion for the artist .
      but they go:nahh it`s mine no no no it`s mine !!!!
      assholes!!!!!
      as if with an artist like sun ra which is one of the true masters (on one side) but on a commercial side not worth a penny.,is business to make .
      how stupid can one get.
      i put a lot of vids up from sun ra ,townies van zandt, nina simone etc. they all got deleted.
      as soon as i loose my parole status i put them back up.

    Thank you. Amir (3793) for your generous offering of this beautiful, poignant ballad. You have good taste. Sun Ra is so wonderful on a traditional piano. His poly chords are so expressive. I wonder if he used his own complex chordal configurations when he played with the popular Fletcher Henderson Orchestra in the '30's.

    What the material world values does
    not shine the same in the truth of
    the soul. You have been interested
    in your shadow. Look instead directly
    at the sun. What can we know by just
    watching the time-and-space shapes of
    each other? Someone half awake in the night sees imaginary dangers; the
    morning star rises; the horizon grows
    defined; people become friends in a
    moving caravan. Night birds may think
    daybreak a kind of darkness, because
    that's all they know. It's a fortunate
    bird who's not intrigued with evening,
    who flies in the sun we call Shams.

They would get it, but they don't. It doesn't matter anyway because there are people out there, like you and I, that DO get it. Sun Ra was a gift to this world.
