Zum 100. Jahrestag (2014) von SUN RAs Niederkunft präsentiert STRUT in Zusammenarbeit mit Marshall Allen, Director des The Sun Ra Arkestra in Zusammenarbeit mit den Erben des Meisters eine Kollektion bisher auf CD und LP unveröffentlichter Stereo Master Recordings.

It’s been ten years now since I started working with Sun Ra's music through my company Art Yard and 100 years this year, 2014, since Sun Ra's arrival. A suitable time then to celebrate his amazing work in collaboration with Marshall Allen, Director of The Sun Ra Arkestra, and present a collection of some previously unreleased and extended stereo master recordings that have never been pressed on vinyl or CD before, all with the help of heirs and successors of Sun Ra himself and the many people I work with who are involved in ongoing research into Sun Ra's repertoire. This release enabled me to visit “Pharaoh’s Den”, the Sun Ra house in German Town, Philadelphia, for the first time. Battling blizzards and cancelled trains, I was eventually able to film Marshall talking about Ra and his work and improvising on various instruments for several precious hours. I had time to conduct further interviews with Arkestra mainstays Knoel Scott, Michael Ray and Danny Ray Thompson. The transcribed Marshall Allen interview is reproduced here. Soon after writing it out, disaster struck. Upon returning to Berlin, I discovered that I had lost a large section of the filmed interviews. The Arkestra’s discussions about the esoteric side to their music and the magic and ritual of Sun Ra’s performances will have to remain a mystery as a result. Maybe Sun Ra had a hand in it: “I have many names; some call me Mr. Ra, others call me Mr. Re. You can call me Mr. Mystery.” Despite this setback, you can find the final edited film on the Strut youtube channel.
