#Jazz is the #lodestar of #SunRa’s #music. He travelled many #trajectories in his #musicallife, but always returned to the idiom, eventually. Recorded in September of 1982, #CelestialLove was one such homecoming. The album was also the last one released on Ra’s own Saturn imprint and one of the final sessions at the New York studio that had served as a reliable #Arkestra landing site for the previous two decades. #Cosmic keyboard conflagrations and miasmic percussion orgies weren’t the order of the day. Instead, Ra dusted off a #songbook that could almost be construed as mainstream on paper, gathering a pair of #DukeEllington originals, a mothballed standard, and a handful of originals that hew to the theme-solos framework of his more terrestrially attuned contemporaries. The eleven-piece band is skewed toward Arkestral loyalists with tenorist #JohnGilmore, altoist #MarshallAllen, baritonist #DannyRayThompson, and bassoonist #JamesJacson joining brass section newcomers #VincentChancey on French horn and #TyroneHill on trombone, respectively. Trumpeter #WalterMiller’s associations with the leader date back even further to the 1940s. Ra tools each of the pieces with horn soloists in mind starting with the organ-powered shuffle that unfolds as the title piece over blowsy improvisations from Allen shot through with lurching intervallic leaps. “#Interstellarism” retools the 1959 tone poem anthem “#InterstellarLowWays,” but keeps Gilmore and Allen as the tandem-release rocket fuel from the original. https://dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/616743602069061632/sun-ra-celestial-love-modern-harmonicsaturn #BlackLivesMatter #BlackArtistsMatter (at U.S. Embassy Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCIBZr1Fmat/?igshid=tx8kaxs1ot6

I got a call a few days ago from #carminbutler - daughter of #leroybutlerart asking if I wanted to help sort through Mr LeRoy’s belongings and make sense out of 94 years of drawing, sketching, and all around living an amazing life. I jumped at the chance to help out. LeRoy and I became quick friends.. he invited me in his home on the first day we met, we set and talked for two hours about music, art and life. He told me stories about Sun Ra and Byard Lancaster. He told me secrets and shared his wisdom all while having the best sense of humor of any 90 year old that I know.. he passed a few weeks ago, and in this new world we live in he couldn’t be surrounded by friends or family. It seems very unfair and almost mean. I personally will miss him tremendously, he meant so much to his community, the arts community in Philadelphia. He never got the recognition he deserved (as far as I’m concerned) - these pictures are from photo albums belonging to Mr LeRoy’s daughter Carmin.. the have an rare shot of the Arkestra horn section with the late #dannyraythompson and a you d #marshallallen - a behind-the-scene photo of Ra from Space Is The Place and also a full sized promo shot (cut off here because of IG) (at Brewerytown Beats) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8r0ylj971/?igshid=kbmcv4pvqbie
