Sun Ra was a pianist, composer, and bandleader for the jazz orchestra. Over four decades, from the early 1950s until 1993 when Sun Ra left Earth, he managed to both enchant and confound people with his philosophical ideas, his style, and his music that could quickly shift from catchy melodies to atonal chaos. Sun Ra, described as an otherworldly jazz musician with cosmic style, created a completely unique universe with his music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-body-heading\" id=\"h-fotoutstallning-i-mellanrummet\">Photo exhibition in Mellanrummet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Malm\u00f6 Konsthall&#8217;s Sun Ra exhibition is displayed in Mellanrummet \/ the restaurant from August 18th to September 12th.
