Love that great interview clip of John Gilmore. I wonder if he, Pat Patrick, Ronnie Boykins, Oloe Emoe, and June Tyson aren't playing some extra special music, wherever they are now.
Absolutely; I think that might be why his band was so fond of him, because he was such a genuine leader and artist. Not too many like him, in or out music.
@KingOfUm "Not too many like him, in or out music."
you can say that again. i adore his way of creating a myth around himself. and what a myth!!
also, his message was a great one, and still very relevent now, even more so, as it is no longer black or white.
nowadays the slaves arent just black, we are all the slaves, and our society is the plantation... and we must be strong and fight for liberation. and music is still the same vessel upon which change can ride.
dude with the colored wig looks like george clinton i was like he went through george's closet but yeaH RA AND CLINTON ARE BOTH NOT FROM HERE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE FROM BUT THEY REALLY ARE BNOT FROM HERE ALIONG WITH HENDRIX ALL P FUNK FANS FIND SUN RA
This is a revealing portrait of the Sun Ra mystique. Sun Ra was a visionary. June Tyson (vocals), Marshall Allen (alto sax), and John Gilmore (tenor sax) were key figures in his band. Take some time to enjoy the Sun Ra experience. As he once said, "Space is the place".
led his own bands in 30s - actually with henderson band in late 40s-nice overview esp solo keyboards
