Sun Ra - Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy and Art Forms of Dimensions Tomorrow

"Cosmic Tones functions as a kind of blueprint for the sort of large-scale jazz weirdness that would inform much of Sun-Ra's subsequent works, featuring the woozy reeds of And Otherness and the afro-jazz experiments of Thither And Yon. On Adventure Equation a space echo treatment on the recording which is reprised for the sax flurries on Voice Of Space making the whole experience even more disorientating than it already would be."

This otherworldly, brilliant release was recorded in 1963 and released 1967.

Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy

Miles Davis - Live Evil

This strange release was recorded live on December 19, 1970, as well as February 6, June 3, and June 4, 1970...each time with a different line up. This is a pretty weird album for Miles, but if you've ever heard this album's predecessor Bitches' Brew, you may have a better understanding concerning the aim of this record.

John Coltrane - Stellar Regions

A very free-form Coltrane album, released in 1967. One of my favorite jazz records, if not my absolute best. There are a number of things to pay attention to in this incredible release..the main being the percussion. Listen to the sixth track, "Configuration" to understand why.


John Coltrane - composer, tenor saxophone
Alice Coltrane - piano
Jimmy Garrison - bass
