Sun 18 Jun 2023 • 08:00 pm Avant-Garde / Jazz Fusion
Église Saint-Denis - Montréal 43.98$
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

L’Arkestra continue à vivre avec Sun Ra via des plans alternatifs et va honorer la scène de l’Eglise St. Denis avec une nuit de magie intergalactique exubérante. Venez être bénis, guéris, captivés et transportés. Des chaussures de danse seront peut-être nécessaires.

Sun Ra, compositeur de jazz, chef d’orchestre et philosophe énigmatique, a laissé une marque indélébile sur le jazz d’avant-garde dans les années 1960, aux côtés d’autres sommités telles qu’Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane et Albert Ayler. Sa musique et son mode de vie non conventionnels ont fait de lui l’une des figures les plus controversées de son époque, puisqu’il prétendait appartenir à la “race des anges” de Saturne et développait un personnage complexe centré sur sa “philosophie cosmique” et sa poésie lyrique. Sun Ra, pionnier de l’afrofuturisme, prêchait la conscience et la paix par-dessus tout et s’est fermement imposé comme une icône du mouvement.

Après avoir abandonné son nom de naissance, Sun Ra a pris plusieurs autres noms tout au long de sa carrière, dont Le Sony’r Ra et Sonny Lee. Il a nié tout lien avec son nom de naissance, insistant sur le fait qu’il s’agissait d’une personne imaginaire qui n’a jamais existé. Du milieu des années 1950 jusqu’à sa mort en 1993, Sun Ra a dirigé l’Arkestra, un ensemble dont la composition et le nom changeaient constamment, reflétant la nature changeante de sa musique. L’Arkestra allait des solos de clavier aux big bands de plus de 30 musiciens et abordait pratiquement toute l’histoire du jazz, du ragtime à la musique swing, du bebop au free jazz. Sun Ra a également été un pionnier de la musique électronique, de la musique spatiale et de l’improvisation libre, et a été l’un des premiers musiciens, tous genres confondus, à utiliser massivement les claviers électroniques.

The Arkestra lives on with Sun Ra via alternate planes and is gonna grace the stage at Eglise St. Denis with a night of exuberant intergalactic magic. Come be blessed, healed, enthralled and transported. Dancing shoes might be needed.

Sun Ra, the enigmatic jazz composer, bandleader, and philosopher, left an indelible mark on avant-garde jazz in the 1960s alongside other luminaries such as Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, and Albert Ayler. His unconventional music and unorthodox lifestyle made him one of the most controversial figures of his time, as he claimed to be of the “Angel Race” from Saturn and developed a complex persona centred around his “cosmic philosophy” and lyrical poetry. Sun Ra‘s pioneering of Afrofuturism preached awareness and peace above all else and firmly established him as an icon of the movement.

After abandoning his birth name, Sun Ra took on several other names throughout his career, including Le Sony’r Ra and Sonny Lee. He denied any connection with his birth name, insisting that it was an imaginary person who never existed. From the mid-1950s until he died in 1993, Sun Ra led The Arkestra, an ensemble with an ever-changing lineup and name that reflected the ever-changing nature of his music. The Arkestra ranged from keyboard solos to big bands of over 30 musicians and touched on virtually the entire history of jazz, from ragtime to swing music, from bebop to free jazz. Sun Ra was also a pioneer of electronic music, space music, and free improvisation and was one of the first musicians, regardless of genre, to use electronic keyboards extensively.
