Sun Ra - Space Is the Place

this is a gem in Sun Ra's vast discography. released in 1972, this album is full of the cacophony one comes to expect from Sun Ra, but it's also got some surprisingly earthy and groovy
moments. check this out, and merry christmas!

Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz

this is as influential as it gets. the first explicity "free jazz" recording, this features Ornette, Eric Dolphy, Freddy Hubbard, Scott LaFaro, Billy Higgins, Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, and Ed Blackwell. this abum is actually pretty accessible, at least in comparison to what would later come from the scene this spawned.

sun ship

next i'm posting a wonderful album by john coltrane, which was released posthumously. it's a later-era recording, featuring the classic quartet, and it gets pretty wild. i highly reccomend this to anyone who wants to find a happy medium between "A Love Supreme" and "Ascension". take care!
