Sun Ra - Out There Avant Garde Jazz Podcast #18

This week's episode of Out There is about the one and only Sun Ra and his variously titled Arkestra.  Sun Ra maintained throughout his life that he was from Saturn, here on earth to spread a message of peace through his music.  His music is some of the most stylistically diverse ever produced by one man, ranging from standard bebop-ish jazz to wild free jazz freakouts, to sound collage/musique concrete, to wholly new and unique experiments with electronic instruments.  Enjoy!
