Description
A foundational figure in avant-garde jazz, Sun Ra reimagined the big band tradition through his cosmic vision, combining Afrocentric philosophy, electronic experimentation, and otherworldly textures. Backed by his Solar-Myth Arkestra—featuring key players like John Gilmore, Marshall Allen, and June Tyson—Ra crafted a sound both ancient and futuristic.
The Solar Myth Approach Vol. 1 compiles rare and mysterious studio recordings from the late '50s and '60s. With its abstract arrangements, ceremonial moods, and early Moog synthesizer work, the album exemplifies Ra’s genre-defying approach and deep sonic curiosity.
Now remastered from the original tapes, this essential chapter in the Sun Ra saga reveals new layers with each listen—an ever-evolving journey through space-age jazz.
