The World Shadow
Sun Ra featuring Pharaoh Sanders & Black Harold
1976
This is the album I was looking for last week, on Pharaoh Sanders' birfday. It's cacophonic colloquy! Ha.
It was also recorded in 1964 but wasn't released until '76. I mean, how many artists can wait 12 years between production and release dates and still be all avant-*awesome*? ...Crazy amazing.

Look, "acid jazz" or no, this track's got four solid-distinguishable music forms side by side, as well as that sweetly direct lyric homage to Pharaoh Sanders. Huh.
