What: Sun Ra was a great composer/arranger/ bandleader/ philosopher whose work was always on the cutting edge of Jazz. It is appropriate that young students who are interested in forging a sound concept of what the music of Jazz is all about, spend time delving into his life, music and philosophy. These themes are explored in the Sun Ra Ensemble classes.

When: On Thursday, April 10, the New School Sun Ra Ensemble can be heard live on Louis Reyes Rivera's Perspective-- Radio Station WBAI, 99.5 FM from 1pm until 2pm. WBAI streams live on the internet at wbai.org
