ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Sun Ra lived as a true jazz renegade at a time when Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk flourished. He was idiosyncratic both in personality and his eclectic music. He was forthright in his enigmatic self-estimation as an alien from the planet Saturn who came to earth on a mission to preach peace.
Renowned documentary film director Robert Mugge decided to spend three years peering into the life of the colorful Sun Ra and his rowdy band mates. One reviewer wrote of the underappreciated and relatively unknown 1980 film, Sun Ra: A Joyful Noise, that it was not only “a performance film, but also as a record of the famous composer, keyboardist, bandleader’s purposely odd personal and professional life.”
Mugge captures the dramatic Sun Ra in conversation as he expounds on his Afrofuturistic mythology and his adventures with his big band Intergalactic Omniverse Arkestra. He also notes that “mystery is my story.” The ecstatic multi-horn, multi-percussion band is captured during rehearsals and in concert at two clubs (at Philadelphia’s Danny’s Hollywood Palace and in Baltimore at the Famous Ballroom). Tunes included “Astro Black,” “Along Came Ra,” “We Travel the Spaceways” and “Requiem for Trevor Johnson (Discipline 27).”
