I love Sun Ra have almost all his releases some 200 CDs albums etc..

Oblique Parallax is amazing first live recording of a Moog model B or D?

Looks like a Yamaha YC-30 to me.

I love this clip so much. I gather much performance inspiration from Sun Ra.

This is a joke, right? The second video I have now seen of someone NOT PLAYING MUSIC on a YC combo organ.

This is to Music as welding bus transmissions together at random is to sculpture.

Wish I had that organ though!

Sun Ra is amazing. Not easy for a lot of people to get, but he's beyond incredible as a keyboard player and composer/arranger, and reached beyond where most could follow.

Sun Ra had the first Minimoog Model B, and I believe that is on Parallax, also stargazers from 1970 has some model B. Check out Space is the Place for some nice footage of the Model B and D.
