Article

Super-Sonic Jazz

Portion used

a small photo only

Low resolution?

Yes

Purpose of use

To illustrate an article about an important record in Sun Ra's early career, and in particular to illustrate the contemporary (fairly straight) presentation of the band, as a counterfoil to later images of the band as considerably more outlandish, and to establish a context of lounge jazz performance for the early records.

Replaceable?

Most of the key members of the band (Ra himself, Gilmore, etc) are long dead.

Fair Use Rationale

[edit]
  • The photo is being used for illustrative and educative purposes only
  • As a part of an article on a work of art, provision is provided under US copyright law for the fair use of a photo to help illustrate the actions and works of a historically important artist
  • The record featured in the article is a seminal piece that influenced space rock and psychedelia as well as progressive jazz; an important part of the work is its relationaship to its authors political and philosophical views, and his reliance on visual presentation to express those views to an audience
  • It is also notable for being amongst the very first independent records to be released by an artist-controlled label.
  • As a part of a larger discography, I wanted to show the visual evolution of the arkestra, by placing well chosen images of the band at key points in their development.
  • The image is of low resolution, and unsuitable for commercial reproduction
