Genre-bending musician and longtime friend of All About Jazz, Skip Heller has launched “Hardly Strictly Jazz," a monthly column that focuses on great music that doesn't fit comfortably in a categorical box. If you're someone who prefers music to categorical boxes, this column is dedicated to you.

We're kicking the column off with a look into a document that embodies the great American pioneering spirit: Sun Ra: The Eternal Myth Revealed Vol. 1. We hope this sets the tone for a look into some very rewarding music that doesn't get its fair consideration.
