Space is the Place : The Lives and Times of Sun Ra
Sun Ra - Book - by John Szwed
(2000)
This ground-breaking biography is as much about Sun Ra's music as it is about his passionate, often wildly unorthodox views on the galaxy, black people and spiritual matters. With the various incarnations of his inimitable Arkestra, his repertoire ranged from boogie-woogie to swing to be-bop to fusion to New Age, and his influence extended throughout the jazz and rock worlds. While Sun Ra made a lifelong effort to obscure many of the facts of his early years, he did acknowledge that he was born on the planet Saturn.
John Szwed has succeeded brilliantly in delving into and evoking the life and work of this extraordinary artist.
