Wisdom Of Sun Ra / Sun Ra's Polemical Broadsheets & Streetcorner Leaflets - Recolha de textos teóricos e políticos de SUN RA sobre cultura, filosofia, misticismo, afro-futurismo, religião, assuntos sociais, música, etc, com reprodução de originais dos textos batidos à máquina pelo próprio Ra. Compilação e introdução de John Corbett. Edição WhiteWalls / The University of Chicago Press, 2006.This new volume unveils over forty newly discovered typewritten broadsheets on which Sun Ra expounded his wholly unique philosophical message. While in Chicago during the mid-1950s, Sun Ra preached on street corners and occasionally created scripts to accompany his lectures—intricate texts that invoke science fiction, Biblical prophecy, etymology, and black nationalism. Until this point, the only broadsheet known to exist was one given to John Coltrane in 1956. These newly unearthed writings attest to the provocative brilliance that inspired Coltrane. Sun Ra annotated many of them by hand, and together the sheets reveal fascinating new aspects of his worldview. The Wisdom of Sun Ra is an invaluable compendium of writings by one of the most intriguing and influential jazz figures of the century. - Amazon
