Description: Considered the foremost exponent of Afrofuturism Sun Ra mastered a wide array of styles that spanned jazz R& B exotica Afro - hybrids electronic big band solo piano orchestral exper - imental and chamber works. In his 45 - year recording career he issued an epic number of albums and he was one of the first Black musicians to own an independent label which he named Saturn after the planet on which he claimed to have been born. The covers of Saturn L Ps issued from 1957 to 1988, are iconic - some rolled off commercial printing presses but many were hand - crafted. These records were sold at concerts club dates and by mail order. As collectibles original handmade Saturn covers sell for hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars. More than just packaging for a slab of vinyl they are works of art in their own right.
