Sun Ra

[Durium]

Can someone give me more info about the 1959 film Cry of Jazz with the Sun Ra Arkestra?

Is it worth having it - it's a semi-documentary I understood - gives it a view on the Arkestra? Is it about Sun Ra's music or is he only part of the sound track?

Not to derail things, but I've been enjoying Phill Niblock's Sun Ra film 'The Magic Sun' over the last few days.
