Over dit product

Product Information

Sun Ra said he came from Saturn. Known on Earth for his inventive music and extravagant stage shows, he pioneered free-form improvisation in an ensemble setting with the devoted band he called the "Arkestra." He took jazz from the inner city to outer space, infusing traditional swing with far-out harmonies, rhythms, and sounds. Described as the father of Afrofuturism, Sun Ra created "space music" as a means of building a better future for Black Americans here on Earth. A Pure Solar World offers a spirited introduction to the life and work of this legendary but underappreciated musician, composer, and poet.

Reviews
Youngquist has published an excellent critical take on Sun Ra's creation myth and its relation to broader currents of America's postwar social imaginary., Sun Ra left Earth a better place than he found it. Youngquist's deep dive into this art is creative, discursive, and probing. . . . A strictly formal critique of the musician would have generated its own insights, but by pulling the music of Sun Ra into its broader context, Youngquist engages readers in something grander. They--both Sun Ra and Youngquist--give the contentious politics of resistance, the starlit frontiers of imagination, and the contours of hope a fresh look. As Sun Ra would agree, it is only a fresh look at our world that will rocket people to a new and more splendid universe., The title is well chosen. Sun Ra's legacy is as much the vision of another world, and another way of being, as it is a unique approach to music. . . . [His] relationship with pop culture is equally fascinating and the impact he made on a wide range of artists who achieved far greater mainstream commercial success . . . is significant to say the least. Youngquist's prose is vivid and concise, making a subject some might still find forbidding anything but. A welcome invitation to the spaceways., Janelle Monáe helped redirect 21st-century attention to Afrofuturism with her 2018 LP Dirty Computer, but Paul Youngquist's recent release explores Sun Ra's pioneering experimentations with the aesthetic, which probes the African diaspora through a scientific lens.
