From the Arkestra to his experiments with synthesizers, Sun Ra was
one of the most inventive jazz musicians in history. Yet until now,
there has not been a collection of his earliest writings that
reveal the beginnings of his work as philosopher, mystic, and
Afro-Futurist. This new volume unveils over forty newly discovered
typewritten broadsheets on which Sun Ra expounded his wholly unique
philosophical message.
While in Chicago during the mid-1950s, Sun Ra preached on street
corners and occasionally created scripts to accompany his
lectures--intricate texts that invoke science fiction, Biblical
prophecy, etymology, and black nationalism. Until this point, the
only broadsheet known to exist was one given to John Coltrane in
1956. These newly unearthed writings attest to the provocative
brilliance that inspired Coltrane. Sun Ra annotated many of them by
hand, and together the sheets reveal fascinating new aspects of his
worldview.
"The Wisdom of Sun Ra "is an invaluable compendium of writings by
one of the most intriguing and influential jazz figures of the
century.
