Last November, I spoke at the Traveling the Spaceways Exhibit and Symposium, at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago. This exhibit honored the work of Sun Ra, and my dad, Alton Abraham. For all the influence that Sun Ra had on music, and on human consciousness, through his music, Alton made it possible, working behind the scenes, booking club dates for the group, recording their performances, negotiating record production contracts, artwork, promotion and publicity, collecting money, booking travel, paying the group…. and on and on.
Sun Ra passed over in 1993. My dad exited this world in 1999. The Art Center published this video from my presentation last November, which I only learned about recently. You can’t see me, but you can hear my voice, and see some of my work.
