Sun Ra: Ten Great AfroFuturist Albums
by Chris May
With one hundred and twenty five albums to his name, not including reissues, any attempt to compile a Sun Ra Top Ten is a pretty ludicrous endeavour. There is simply too much great music from which to choose and way too much to put to one side. So the honour roll which follows should be regarded ...
Adam Kahan: Capturing the Essence of Jazz in a Film
by Victor L. Schermer

Calling Ra, Mr. Sun Ra your rocket ship is ready
by Mark Corroto
How prophetic is it that we now live in the second century of Sun Ra's earthly existence? Born (maybe) in Alabama 1914, Herman Poole Blount became the pianist, arranger, band leader, poet, and can we say prophet(?) we know as Sun Ra.
