The Quietus
Sun Ra taught me to translate spirit into music. The spirit makes no mistakes.

Sun Ra And His Arkestra
Jazz From Tomorrow's World
People are sleeping, and I’m here to wake them up from their slumber
(Sun Ra)
Music is a language. You see, it’s not notes, it’s a language of the spirit. That’s why it’s so important.
(Sun Ra)
Sun Ra and Don Cherry performing at a Summer Solstice concert Battery Park, New York City, 1989.
I am of another dimension. I am on this planet because people need me.
