Of all the labels that have attached to the work of Sun Ra over the years – Afrofuturism, experimental music, avant-garde, neo-swing – the one that makes most sense is “space music”. It’s also the one that most often misleads. It isn’t all about flying saucers and alien civilisations, but it is about space, which is the dimension in which music functions. Has any composer/arranger ever used it more effectively? Listen again to Heliocentric Worlds ... but without dwelling on the scientistic or sci-fi title, and you’ll hear – and see – what I mean ...
