New to Jazz

I've mostly heard various clips of his over the youtube, as it's hard for me to get ahold of his music. I do have The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra. Once I give it a more thorough listen, I'll offer my input. I will say as a rule, I tend to forbid myself from starting with greatest hits compilations, only because label pressure can cause such songs to vary from the artist's sincere vision. Then again, the thought of Sun Ra having any hits seems parodoxical. Either way, I'm sure none of his albums (even the greatest hits) would disappoint.
