Space Is the Place The Lives and Times of Sun Ra [Audiobook]


Free Download Space Is the Place: The Lives and Times of Sun Ra (Audiobook)
English | November 09, 2021 | ASIN: B09KJ7Z9F7 | M4B@128 kbps | 16h 55m | 926 MB
Author: John Szwed | Narrator: Leon Nixon
Considered by many to be a founder of Afrofuturism, Sun Ra – a.k.a. Herman Blount – was a composer, keyboardist, bandleader, philosopher, entrepreneur, poet, and self-proclaimed extraterrestrial from Saturn. He recorded over 200 albums with his Arkestra, which, dressed in Egypto-space costumes, played everything from boogie-woogie and swing to fusion and free jazz.
John Szwed’s Space is the Place is the definitive biography of this musical polymath, who was one of the 20th century’s greatest avant-garde artists and intellectuals. Charting the whole of Sun Ra’s life and career, Szwed outlines how after years in Chicago as a blues and swing band pianist, Sun Ra set out in the 1950s to impart his views about the galaxy, black people, and spiritual matters by performing music with the Arkestra that was as vital and innovative as it was mercurial and confounding. Szwed’s listeners – whether they are just discovering Sun Ra or are among the legion of poets, artists, intellectuals, and musicians who consider him a spiritual godfather – will find that, indeed, space is the place.

English | January 1, 2003 | ISBN: 0304361844 | 462 pages | PDF | 8.47 Mb
Manchuria, 1904-1905, and in their war with the Japanese the Russians were wrong footed from the start, fighting at the end of a 5,000 mile single track railway against a brilliantly led and fanatical Japanese army less than a week from their bases. The Russian command structure was hopelessly confused, their generals old and incompetent, the Tsar cautious and uncertain. The Russian naval defeat at Tsushima was as farcical as it was complete. Seventeen months of war left 300,000 dead, a major European power defeated by the Japanese and the beginnings of a new order in the Far East. The world was changed – as the unsuspecting world would later discover.
