Sun Ra
Sun Ra: the foremost figure in musical Afro-futurism and space-jazz. Keyboardist, composer, Arkestra leader, arranger, philosopher-jester, fashion icon, cosmic guide. Born Herman Blount in Alabama in 1914, departed the planet in 1993, leaving the people of Earth a monumental catalog of recordings that transcend genre. File Under: Jazz, electronic, ambient, improv, chamber, spoken word, noise art, experimental, tone poems, modernistic orchestral madness, exotica, and space-funk. With Sun Ra you get everything but consistency and predictability.
