The Cosmobiography of Sun Ra: The Sound of Joy Is Enlightening

40 pp. | Candlewick | May, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-5806-9 $15.99
(2) K-3 Jazz pioneer and free-spirited iconoclast Sun Ra (he believed he came from Saturn) gets a portrait as bemusing as the man himself in this fantastical tribute. Raschka's trademark loose gestural style is effective in reflecting his subject's untethered spirit and impenetrable persona. The images themselves are dense and dynamic, full of brilliant color and heavy black. List of selected recordings appended.
