Sun Ra (jazz, cds, albums, quote, memory)

If I had had a choice I would have started with Space Is the Place, but that's just me

and also Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra from the 60's, there are two volumes to that and I can't remember which album is better.

edit: this one

but they are two of the more well-known and high-fidelity recordings (my favourite album sounds like it was recorded with the huge band crammed into a stuffy basement).... And they are representative of his avant-garde sound whilst still having a slightly accessible jazz edge to ease you into his world. I think
