I want to include that the experience of seeing them live was truly awesome, in the basic meaning of the word. Different from every other show I've seen, very thought provoking and wonderful.
Always thought this tune was about waking up late and having to console ur restless baby .. taking turns rocking and feeding ur young one.. domestic sorrow ballad !!
Not sure what people aren't getting about this. Ra was always Ra. Seems like everybody wants Monk to be this sacred Monk thing; Ra didn't do that. Ra was always Ra, and that's why this is is great.
He's utilising minimum effort for effortless manipulation of ululating vibration the little he has to conjure to make those string of space and time wiggle is the unmentionability of a thought. He's thinking the music -- you can see it in his face.
I got the same impression. As well as any influencing, I reckon they must necessarily stumble on the same things, if you play saxophone with spiritual intentions.
Yeah, I really do like Sun Ra, his various bands, his music, and his record covers. But sometimes he went off the deep end, that's all! But, when he was "on", he was on league with Ellington & Mingus (well, almost), and some of his more unusual or rhythmic oriented pieces were on par with the wonderful Moondog. His later funky stuff was George Clinton if he didn't want to sell merchandise. But the far out spacey stuff was like The Dead's "Dark Star" on a bad night (even if Ra maybe did it first)
Yes I was playing on this gig as the drummer right behind Sun Ra. This recording took place at The Famous Ballroom in Baltimore, Maryland July 23, 1978
ugh this would b good but theres wayy 2 much goin on... the musicians cant/arent listening 2 each other. plus that keyboard is really annoying, and whatever is making that squeaking sound just irritates my ears
They play Monk's great standard with the vital conviction and casual solemnity of a father giving his infant child a goodnight kiss.
Those 4th 1st mesures are some of the most gorgeous I've heard in a jazz solo. Thanks J. Gilmore!
"Can't have anything without it's parallel, it's opposite," shown in the sychronicity of the music, goodness
John Gilmore is on another level!! Great video!!
This is from Sun Ra: A Joyful Noise a documentary released in 1980.
+strangestringsnyc Yes, a film by Robert Mugge
Sun Ra always had the dopest headgear
My favorite tenor sax player of all time.
best version ever.
Recorded at the now defunct Left Bank Jazz Society in Baltimore, Maryland. The spot is now home to the art house Charles Theater.
SUN RA IS GREAT!
A Genuis interpretation of A Genuis
Wow!

John Gilmore is his name. I heard he actually gave John Coltrane some lessons, which would make sense seeing how similar they sound.
John Coltrane wanted to take 5 lessons... But Gilmore don't give.... This love from Russia, dear The Genius Sun Ra!!!❤
nyone knows what organ he plays? :D
Love that trash sound
Vinylsoundbox Crumar I believe..,
Yamaha YC-30 if i'm not mistaken
@pauldavidclub like ra said....better to let the weak fall away and deal with the only the musically competent.
I got the same impression. As well as any influencing, I reckon they must necessarily stumble on the same things, if you play saxophone with spiritual intentions.
John Gilmore!!

What instrument is Sun Ra playing?
Funky clav yo
Everybody knows round mid nite
@Glizeldra
But...
Who is the father ?
And his mom' ?
The cross of Sun Ra-Jesus Christ, it's the music, not only the jazz.
But his parents ?
If you're gonna wear a tin foil hat make sure it's the most beautiful tin foil hat that's ever been worn.
Yeah, apparently Trane really dug his sound
does any body know where the full version of this video!?
@pauldavidclub Ahhh, c'mon you like this don't you? c'mon what's the matter with you?
Take that you sorry so and sos, who think Sunny can not play Monk or anyone else....

Go home
Does anyone know the location/ date of the recording?
Cecille C Yang the Left Bank Jazz Society in Baltimore, MD, in 1980 I think
Yes I was playing on this gig as the drummer right behind Sun Ra. This recording took place at The Famous Ballroom in Baltimore, Maryland July 23, 1978
oh i got top comment! sun ra is from space.
that sax player sounds so much like coltrane but I know it's not him........
coltrane was inspired by Gilmore and he even had some lessons at him
Actually he ate a lot of lettuce....You can't grind your teeth on that.
Hey I like a good deal of Sun Ra's music, but c'mon!!!!!
my ultimate reaction to religion related comments is thumb down all the way, I want it to wanish
ugh this would b good but theres wayy 2 much goin on... the musicians cant/arent listening 2 each other. plus that keyboard is really annoying, and whatever is making that squeaking sound just irritates my ears
