The man, almost a myth, who in 1914 was born Herman Poole Blount in Birmingham, Alabama, soon became Sun Ra – a solar figure at the heart of the twentieth-century free jazz movement; an Egyptologist who, in that cradle of civilisation, discovered Afrofuturism; a philosopher who founded his own cosmogony and channelled it through a keyboard. Through testimonies from members of his Sun Ra Arkestra and archival recordings, Christine Turner unveils the galaxy of this trailblazer. A film, a meteor, a journey through time.
