Although it's safe to say that the majority of mid/late-period Sun Ra output
was very closely associated with electronics as well as being firmly routed
in free jazz.
"Joyful Noise" video where he's just freaking out on his keyboard on that
rooftop wearing that absurd blue wig and pearl necklace. That guy was on a
whole other level of music.
Alice Coltrane "Universal Conciousness" also has some good
electronic/keyboard wig-outs although slightly more structured then some of
Sun Ra's noise.
One of my favourite things to do when in NY is to go to Two Boots restuarant
where they have the Ornette Coleman "Free Jazz" CD on their jukebox. A mere
25 cents will make you the most hated person in the room as it's only 2
I.D's on the disc so either one gets you a 20 minute scronk fest.
