AKA Brad Smith. Lover of live music, especially jazz (though i wander), anywhere there are musicians playing and creating in real-time. Worked on Sun Ra: Do the Impossible for Firelight Films.
On this planet, it seems, it has been very difficult for me to do and be of the possible things and projects. As I look at the world today and its events and the harvest of possible things, I like the idea of the impossible more and more. (Sun Ra)
In this age of Outer Space challenge, People will have to change their tune, i.e. they will have to be tuned up or down according to what is necessary. (Sun Ra)
the one cool thing about marshall allen no longer being able to tour with the arkestra is all the music he's now getting to make with other people. https://universeodon.com/@SunRaUniverse/116942771481962067

Using data from IFPI's Global Music Report 2023-25, I created a chart for my students. Strongest revenue growth? Middle East and North Africa. Striking was the huge decline in growth in Asia, which IFPI attributes to the decline in physical sales. #musicbusiness #musiceducation #music

Sun Ra wanted to take us back to the past, because from there we could see the future. (Marshall Allen)
The music comes from the void, the nothing, the void, in response to the burning need for something else. #SunRa

His collaborative efforts with musician Brian Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues, and soul, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. His own term for himself was "bluesologist", which he defined as "a scientist who is concerned with the origin of the blues." His music, most notably on Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul.<br/> More <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Scott-Heron" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Scott-Heron</a><br/> <br/> <br/><div style="text-align: center;">Set List:</div> <div style="text-align: center;"><br/></div> <span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400;"><b>01.
