I believe, your beloved uncle, performed with Count Basie, also. The album, Kilamanjaro, the song, Afrique, if I'm not mistaken.

I too discovered Sun Ra at 17, 18, or 19 years young, in 1966 - '67 near, or in Compton, California. I even had a chance to talk to him by phone, in about 1976. Also heard him & The Arkestra, live on public radio @ The Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival of 1972.

The P Funk Mothership and Dr. Funkenstein are indeed pretty similar on the outside of things, but I belief from the other end of the arms of the artistic galaxy 🌻:). 47:00 see, any place, time, colour - NARROWness - obviously creates the necessary downforce people need to feel comfortable with their thousandfold limitations. And I'm no exception, but I tryyyyyyyyyy :). Thankyou.

@SouthEastSkateUK Жыл бұрын

He says Sun Ra was able to connect "Africa and Egypt, with Philadelphia and the US." Listen to the rest of the sentence, and you will realise the meaning

@GizzyDillespee Жыл бұрын

"Africa" meaning the great Sub-Saharan cultures, and "Egypt" meaning the classical North African culture, and "Philly" meaning American soul... he connected all of them, and outer space
