Red Hot & Ra - The Magic City - Meshell Ndegeocello puts her spin on Sun Ra's compositions, with performances from Immanuel Wilkins, Marshall Allen, Pink Siifu, Darius Jones, and more. Cover art by Cécile McLorin Salvant!

Red Hot + Ra: The Magic City is a profound musical journey curated by Grammy Award-winning bassist-composer-producer Meshell Ndegeocello. Recorded with a diverse ensemble, including the legendary 99-year-old saxophonist Marshall Allen and hip-hop/punk-jazz vocalist Pink Siifu, this album transcends traditional covers, offering entirely new compositions inspired by Sun Ra’s philosophy. With a multi-generational cast of community musicians, the project recontextualizes Sun Ra’s work, avoiding clichés and presenting a brighter perspective than its predecessor, 2023’s Red Hot + Ra: Nuclear War. Immerse yourself in the dreamlike and soulful interpretation of Sun Ra’s composition as The Magic City marks the third installment in the Red Hot & Ra series. With it’s upcoming album release on April 5th, 2024, and vinyl release on April 12th, 2024, this album is a testament to Ndegeocello’s visionary approach. Meshell Ndegeocello, an iconic singer-songwriter and artist, brings forth a present-time experience that honors Sun Ra’s legacy while navigating the complexities of our society.

My media this week (31 Mar-6 Apr 2024)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

pretty much nothing! It was a rough reading week! The first part of the week I was fairly consumed with the D20 I was watching & not reading much. Then I spent FIVE DAYS reading a little over half of a 258K fic before finally accepting that though it was pretty well written and not bad, I just wasn't into it and the thought of fighting thru another 120K was appalling, so I bailed.

and I did read about 20K of shorter stuff but nothing I want to shout out so.

the other side

* on the Highway of My Life * the Isley Brothers laid it all out;

"…there's no time or place to be concerned with those on the other side of the road."

we on this side still have work to do - surviving & just being making a measure of joy out of sorrow, pain, chaos - whatever comes our way as we remember those who never made it to the road,

dying in the crossing - ancestrally - not too long ago to be forgotten; **

while we striders or drivers, Green Book in hand, cross an increasingly cur-sed land

of spirit, separation, based on sand ( ...meaning Silicon chips & AI, yall ).

'steern' wheel gripped at 10 & 2, now riding down unmetaphoric roads,

mind working the four w's & a how, eyeing our rear view mirror every so…;

scaling the high way when they go low anywhere - traveled each to & fro

& singing - heartsongs of sassy soul - loud, or sotto voce as we deign to slumber in a peaceful repose after any tumultuous poll, dreaming dreams filled with wonder. * 8/23 - lebuc - the other side * The Isley Bros. - The Highways of My Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDCN68X7Wy4&pp=ygUdb3RoZXIgc2lkZSBvZiB0aGUgcm9hZCBpc2xleXM%3D

** actually Me'Shell tipped me to this via a Vocalo interview of theirs, soit wasn't from my own depth that drop came from.

plus it's always good to remember everything - ( take that, Florida! )

Meshell Ndegecello's Red Hot & Ra: The Magic City Album Stream

Meshell Ndegeocello's curated Red, Hot & Ra: The Magic City is a tribute to the work of the late Afro-jazz futurist Sun Ra. The album is the latest in the Red Hot Organization's series of projects started three decades ago to raise awareness and money for A.I.D.S. Ndegeocello uses Sun Ra as a muse to produce abstract sketches of his work instead of cover songs. Every composition is original and reflects Sun Ra's visionary status by tapping the creativity of contemporary voices. In some places, Sun Ra actually appears when he is sampled recanting the band's travels and his philosophy on "Solipsistic Panacea (Black Antique)" and "Departure Of The Seven Sisters." Ndegecello delves into the spirit of Sun Ra's expression with a variety of collaborators including Marshall Allen who is the leader of the late musician's Arkestra. Hip-Hop/punk rocker Pink Siifu provides ethereal poetry and scraggly-whispered rap on "El-soul The Companion, Traveler" and "Yet Differently Not- Mars Hall (in)." 

"#9 Venus The Living Myth" pays homage to Sun Ra's respect for other planets and his avant-garde jazz with a cacophony of saxophones, percussion eruptions, choral-like chants, and quotes from the master himself. The Justin Hicks-penned "Reproductive Manatees" has Sun Ra's early proto-funk keyboard experimentation and parts that sound like sung prayers. Ndegeocello's creative decisions encapsulate Sun Ra's sonic and philosophical creed of jazz-based musical freedom and respect for other life forms and planets. The Magic City presents all the spookiness, improvisation, mystery, and elusiveness of Sun Ra and his Arkestra who were waiting on aliens decades before George Clinton's mothership landed in D.C.
