If Sun Ra is the strangest musician in jazz (and who could lay better claim to the title?), then the nascent forms of the Arkestra are some of the most fascinating- because you can hear how the band began to break off from the norm. Only Sun Ra would include harmonium on a 50s doo wop track, his Neptunian attempt to approximate the Latin atmosphere or wispy strings of the day's easy listening. All 3 volumes include additional outtakes which didn't make it onto 'The Singles' 2cd set on Evidence a few years back.
