Cosmic jazz pioneer Sun Ra was captain of the intergalactic ship The Sun Ra Arkestra for four decades, where he created his own universe, averse to all jazz conventions. Legendary and flamboyant as he was, he also ventured into science fiction, which became the prototype of Afro-futurism. Catchy music, beautifully extravagant imagery and still completely unique. Sun Ra’s spaceship, powered by music, lands in Los Angeles. As Ra preaches jazz, he tangles with various authorities. Science fiction psychedelia and social criticism ensues. Entirely eccentric and addictive, just like his music. Black to the future! The Sun Ra Arkestra is still touring, under the reign of 100-year-old Marshall Allen.
