List of Sun Ra Quanta

Bibliographically a quantum (plural quanta) may be defined as a brief passage or quotation dealing with a subject of interest. The pieces listed in this section qualify, since they all are brief sections culled from larger works: quotations from articles, reviews, passing mentions of Sun Ra and/or the Arkestra, or citations from other works.

Additions to this area of the Saturn Web are always solicited and easy for other Saturnians to send, since we all often run across passing mention of Sunny and the Arkestra. The quanta are listed alphabetically by source; additions will are noted on the what's new page.
