I would have thought this was a Tom Waits song made in the 90's. Not Sun Ra back in the 50's. Sun Ra will be revered like Van Gogh or Beethoven. Thank the Lord for Sun Ra

This album features electric bass. This album came out in 1956. The electric bass was introduced by Fender in 1951. This album is cleary made by a genius. Respect, sun ra

@SubRosaStructure Plus: where would be P-Funk visuals without the fancy Sun Ra?



Definitely ahead of its time in 2010. Where would rock music and John Coltrane be without Sun Ra. Only Alice Coltrane was beginning to understand him well!

well, actually Coltrane was very fascinated by Sun ra music, and for what i know he also took lessons by the great Jon Gilmore, the saxophonist of the arkestra (and a very underrated player). Instead i don't think Sun ra was influenced by Coltrane but this is not a matter of value. You can find in his music influences of Ellington, Ornette Coleman, Les Baxter, world music and also funk, disco and rock'n'roll
but you can't find in his music influences of Coltrane.
