"I'm actually painting pictures of infinity with my music..." Sun Ra, 1970. Herman Poole Blount (1914-1993), better known under the name Sun Ra, was an extraordinarily gifted pianist, a legendary big band leader and one of the most controversial personalities of his era. The Sun Ra Arkestra survived all the jazz tides. Under the direction of Marshall Allen it is still traveling the globe in Sun Ra's mission - Noah's Ark and avant-garde project in one, stem cell, root and sprout of jazz.
