Le Sony'r Ra [3](出生于Herman Poole Blount,1914 年 5 月 22 日 - 1993 年 5 月 30 日),更为人所知的是Sun Ra,是一位美国爵士作曲家、乐队领队、钢琴和合成器演奏者,以及以他的实验而闻名的诗人音乐、“宇宙”哲学、多产的输出和戏剧表演。在他职业生涯的大部分时间里,Ra 领导着“The Arkestra”,这是一个名称不断变化且阵容灵活的乐团。
Blount在阿拉巴马州出生和长大,在1940 年代后期开始涉足芝加哥爵士乐界。他很快就放弃了他的本名,取名为 Le Sony'r Ra,简称为 Sun Ra(以埃及太阳神Ra的名字命名)。自称是土星的外星人,肩负着宣扬和平的使命,他塑造了一个神话般的角色和一个独特的信条,使他成为非洲未来主义的先驱。[4]在他的一生中,他否认与他之前的身份有联系,他说:“我使用的任何名字除了 Ra 都是化名。” [5]
尽管他的主流成功有限,但 Sun Ra 是一位多产的录音艺术家和频繁的现场表演者,并且在他的一生中对他的音乐和人格都具有影响力。[7]他现在被广泛认为是创新者;他的杰出之处包括他在自由即兴和模态爵士乐方面的开创性工作以及他早期使用电子键盘和合成器。[7][8]在他的职业生涯中,他录制了数十首单曲和一百多张全长专辑,包括超过 1,000 首歌曲,使他成为 20 世纪最多产的唱片艺术家之一。
