Share some under appreciated jazz album titles

Tyray:  I think we’re on the same page, I’m just astounded by the SQ of some of these older recordings. 
 

faustuss:  much thanks for the very informative post. I’m even more astounded now!

Without explanation any list is almost useless..

My sentence was aiming at all posters... Not only you...

Guess what? Now thanks to your precious explanation, no more hidden, your last post motivate me to go for these albums you recommended because i know why and the reason is akin to my taste ...

Thanks for this explanation...

I will go for these Sun Ra albums now that i know why i must  ...

 By the way i own 22 albums of Sun Ra. But not those you recommended with a very interesting reason...

Thanks for your time

...

Why This album about so many of Sun Ra  ?

I admire Sun RA , i would like to know why this one ? 

@mahgister Why this title? Both these recordings are from Sun Ra’s Chicago phase which transitions from straight ahead jazz into Avant Garde, experimental music.  I am partial to this phase because I enjoy a mix of these two genres.  In the early 90’s Evidence released several of Sun Ra’s recordings as two albums combined on a single CD.  I bought several of these titles and Angels and Demons at Play/The Nubians of Plutonia contains "Lady With the Golden Stockings", "Tiny Pyramids", "Aietheopia" and "Africa" which are among my favorite Sun Ra recordings.

Posting a list without any words explaining why is useless...

Sorry you found my posting useless.  If you enjoy Sun Ra, I recommend you check these two titles out and decide for yourself.

Jim Hall - Live! (Toronto 1975)

Amazing guitar virtuosity and interplay by a trio in a small venue that puts you in the audience.  If you want to hear how good your system is, play this.

FYI, Live at Slugs has recently been re-released on CD.

Thanks!  Good to know. It should be out there as you know :) Wonder if Clifford Jordan's Glass Beads is in print these days. 

I also never knew that Art Ensemble of Chicago's soundtrack to Les Stances a Sophie had been reissued on vinyl at some point. That Fontella Bass opening vocal track floors me every time. When, to me, the group locked into a funky groove, it is really special. Yes, a long career of complex and ancient-rooted music from the various configurations of the group when they decided to play together is cool, but this, this is a banger across all genres. 

It is kind of astounding that Malachi Flavors, Lester Bowie, Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, and Famoudou Don Moye - the core - were all together in one group. I mean each of these guys had amazing solo careers to differing degrees later, but man, what a palette of sound. I would have loved to see them live at their peak in one group. Alas, three have passed ...
