Sun Ra : What Are The Best Damn Albums In His Discography 💿?

[KingsOfKings]

Have downloaded a couple of his albums and was wondering what the coli brehs/Brehettes feel -- in their opinion are his best album given his vast discography.

Let's discuss

 

[Piff Perkins]

It depends on the type of jazz you're into the most. He has some wild, free jazz stuff that may not appeal to many people. He also has a lot of spiritual jazz, big band stuff, more traditional albums etc.

My favorite Sun Ra album is Lanquidity.


That same year (1978) he also released another album I really like, New Steps. Which includes one of my favorite Coltrane covers.

Sun Ra - Space Is The Place
Sun Ra & His Arkestra - The Magic City
Sun Ra - Jazz In Silhouette

I really gotta be in the mood to listen to his stuff but I always go back to those. Start with “Jazz In Silhouette” to really get a peak into his mastery then check out his more experimental stuff, “Space Is The Place” and “Magic City”.
