- [Hi-Fi Mono] The late, great, Sun Ra and his Arkestra perform two numbers, live, on this unique USTV program. There is also a spoken word bit, at the end of the clip, featuring Sun Ra, on his own.
One of the many examples of the diversity and excellence this television program presented to its audience, thanks to the efforts of host David Sanborn, and musical director, Hal Willner.

I remember my Mom coming in the living room saying “What are y’all watching” I have always remembered this night
How did you explain that one away? Did she ground you, or start dancin 'round the living room tv? :)
😂😂😂
My dad took me to see Ra at 14 I was never the same.
Sun Ra and Lonnie Liston Smith my biggest Jazz inspirations
The world needs a TV Show like "Night Music" URGENT!!! RIGHT NOW!!! PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
What do you do when you know that you know, - that you know you are wrong? You've got to face the music! Simply brilliant.
It is wonderful to see that Sun Ra is finally getting wider recognition. Everything about him, his poetry and music, is elevating and expansive. The lineage of Afro Futurism throughout time is a creative and empowering journey all people can learn from.
incredible! "what are your early influences?.. The planets"
I was 15 when I saw this live. This wonderful show, that aired after SNL, changed my life. As a musician, this show changed my whole way of engaging with art and the world. This performance/experience stood out above all that I can remember.
When I get out this world, I wanna be with Sun Ra!!!
If that would be possible i would do the same:)
Rest assured, we are ALL going to be with Sun Ra. He'll be there as an ambassador for us with bells on, welcoming us with free Kemet cats, and piccolos made of amethyst for us all to be part of his new band The Eternal Ra Chorus And Chorusettes! :) And boy, the MUSIC WE WILL MAKE!
Mythical gods, and real ones
I saw this when it aired, it totally freaked me out.
Same here man. I was 13
@@stevedahl ha I was 30 and felt the same
The goat of original space jazz and organized cosmic chaos and harmony
Magic... That's all I can say.
✨💫
Sun Ra was a genius and it sounds as if Zappa was influenced by his style.
I remember staying up late at night and watching this on t.v.
Afrofuturism personified. Period. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 🎵🎶
Very pleased you enjoyed the clip. Definitely a choice appearance, as there were so few on American television, and this was most worth the wait for many. Much appreciate the note of thanks!
lovely to see June Tyson on violin. Thank you for uploading i am spiritually enriched
You're very welcome! I am always very happy when someone gets into these performances, as they are downright special. Have a safe New Year! and thanks for the note of appreciation :)
just unbelivable talent
amazing stuff right here
Hermoso.
I've seen it back on the day, wonderfly open and creative.❤
wow !
I've seen this before and for some reason remembered it , so I tried to track it down. So glad I found it!
I totally dig the otherworldly style! 😎
❤Miss June Tyson 😂
Love Sun Ra. Saw this on SNL back in the day but forgot about until now. Space is the place!
Nah, man, you're slightly misremembering. This was Friday Night live. hehe. Time is irrelevant! :)
The absolutely stunning brilliance which is June Tyson. Lent to us by God
Mysterious and rare
Wow! That was amazing!!!
incriveeeeel
Not meaning to be "that guy", but this is not Saturday Night Live. It was a program called Night Music, also produced by NBC.
Read the description, again: "Sunday Night Live".... not Saturday. Before it was re-branded as "Night Music", it was "Sunday Night (Live)". Wikipedia has more on that, as do a few other websites.
@@whatsforafters7843 Ok.
You can tell how John Gilmore is miles ahead of all the other soloists, so musical yet harmonically advanced. The first 2 were cacophony to my ears.
Before George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, before David Bowie and Ziggy stardust, there was Sun Ra!
Musical Genius, Sun Ra.
Who is the sax player who plays the skronky solo starting around 4:10?
It's Marshall Allen, who is still leading the Arkestra at 98 years old...
@@michaelfiorillo4801 its Sun Ras Moonstew dish that made him this age;)
look at the top of his head!!
there is "face the music" on a recorded album ?
One live version of the song can be found on this CD:

Another version is found on a rather expensive [but great compilation]:

@@whatsforafters7843 oh what a pity... i will love a spotify or youtube single version
8:03
From 12:00 to 13:45, sounds like something Phish would write
Trey Anastasio did a free jazz album inspired by Sun Ra called Surrender to the air
None of this makes sense, but I want to form a religion around it
They 😂 now 🐑 look now 2030 👽 agenda

Superalo
Idiota 😂😂😂😂
