Sun Ra - Over The Rainbow

holy fuck i love this so much

@tweedlydo Apparently this was one of his favorite songs. There are a LOT of great recordings of him playing it.

man, yet another reminder that i really need more sun ra in my life

@nikkuneko If you have Xfinity, the PBS American Masters episode on Sun Ra is available to stream for free. If not, I think you can stream it on PBS websites.

Maybe slightly tangential but this is a wonderful Sun Ra album in a similar vein.

@poorusher Cool!

For years there was no document of Sun Ra’s 1989 “Disney Period” outside of bootlegs. That all changed in 1999 with the release on Leo Records of Second Star to the Right (Salute to Walt Disney), featuring tracks from a show in Ulrichsberg, Austria. This is an audience recording, and someone close to the taper can be heard throughout the show laughing aloud in disbelief at what’s unfolding onstage.
