The future that Sun Ra sang of has arrived in so many ways. No one knows this better than the musicians who made the music with him. Ahmed Abdullah was part of Sun Ra's Arkestra for more than 20 years and his insights about that time could fill a book. In fact, they have. "A Strange Celestial Road" is newly released and Ahmed joins host Mitch Goldman to discuss it on this week's Deep Focus.
Monday night 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD and wkcr.org. Next week it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/
Special bonus: Tuesday 7/25 at 7pm Mitch Goldman interviews Ahmed Abdullah about "A Strange Celestial Road" at Strand Books at 828 Broadway in Greenwich Village. The event is free and open to all.
