Sequins Meet Saturn as Sun Ra Scores Black Radicalism in 4/4 Time

Jazz musician, poet, and bandleader Sun Ra channels Black radicalism not through slogans, but through planetary chords and sequined jumpsuits. Jam sessions morph into rituals, structured yet improvisational, under his idiosyncratic baton.

His meticulously curated aesthetic, from cosmic robes to futuristic headdresses, becomes inseparable from his sonic experimentation. Sound and style function less as adornment, more as resistance stitched and arranged in 4/4 time.
