June Tyson
Great point from Marcus J. Moore about #JuneTyson being "the most important member of the #SunRa Arkestra not named Sun Ra," particularly since he didn't "allow his musicians to bring women to the house" he shared with them in Philly, calling women a "distraction" per Val Wilmer in 'As Serious as Your Life' (there is more reporting out there on his ludicrous attitude toward women, I believe) https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/alice-coltrane-carnegie-hall-review/ #jazz #alicecoltrane
The Visions of Alice Coltrane

In the years after her husband John’s death, the harpist discovered a sound all her own, a jazz rooted in acts of spirit and will.

June Tyson: Saturnian Queen of the Sun Ra Arkestra, by June Tyson and Sun Ra

17 track album

Sun Ra

"Tyson had a fearlessness with regard to imperfection, using such asymmetries instead to cast her voice with an expressiveness - something key to listeners treading, uninitiated, into Sun Ra's territory. It is a quality that gives her voice a texture far and away and deep, both existentially and physically, like the sounds Voyager transmitted back to earth as it has traversed out of the heliosphere."
