A Beginner's Guide to Sun Ra | KQED
Briefly

'Fate in a Pleasant Mood'
Another one of Sun Ra's more big-band numbers, with traditional horn voicings that bend just a little oblong. Imagine that it's 1:49 a.m., the supper club's about to close, and the couples on the dance floor are just as sleepy as the band. (A 1985 version is more upbeat - and out there.)
'Interplanetary Music'
Recorded in 1960, this shows the shape of Sun Ra's music to come.
