Sun Ra - Cosmic Chaos

from the album: The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra, Vol. 2 (1965)

"Cosmic Chaos" is the final and most archetypal of the ensemble works that Ra and his various Arkestras would produce throughout the '60s. The extended piece begins with rush upon rush of aggressive counterpoint, building into unreserved group crescendos that are likewise punctuated by various woodwind soloists.
