You can really the similarities between J Gilmore & Coltrane on that live cut you posted both in tone and technique.
I really only knew Gilmore from SunRa'S band.
I am surprised that orpheus10 likes Sun Ra considering how much of Ra'S music leans towards the avant garde ( mid 60's forward).
You are correct when you listen to much of Ra's music of the late 50's and early 60's you can hear how much closer it is to mainstream and how much debt he owes to those who came before him.
