Sun Ra - ImagesAlbum: Space is the Place
Year: 1973
Genre: Avant-garde Jazz
This is an odd piece for Sun Ra. By that I mean it's fairly normal compared to most of his avant-garde work. Images has such a good balance between big band and avant-garde sounds, though. The rich and full composition is underlined by the points in which it deviates from its own formula. This song is a prime example of Sun Ra's ability to control chaos. With this song, he tips his hand and shows us just how much power he commands over his music. The result is both beautiful and eerie.
