Mexican Power Authority were a bunch of Canadian guys from a mostly punk background in Victoria, BC who were influenced by John Zorn's Naked City era ('strang'). Been listening to them since 1994.
They had a demo called Salmon Mask Mc Tallica which recreates the Beefheart cover with a metalhead in a trucker hat holding a salmon in front of his face. M.P.A. covered Sun Ra, Parker, Coltrane etc.

Despite the popularity of Naked City this is the only band I know of which heavily sounded like them.

Like the rest of their records this can be gotten cheaply.
A double LP of M.P.A. early demos with over 100 songs can be gotten for about 10 Euro.

Vocalist Jason Flower is still on a longstanding mission to archive lots of diverse music from all over the world e.g. reissuing the first Inuit rock band's work.

I have a DLP comp of these guys from way back called Haiku, I think. They should have been right up my alley, but to be fair I felt they had neither the songs nor the chops to emulate their influences.

anyway, I came here to post that the Luaka Bop ‘Pharoah’ box set reissue is the most amazing reissue package I have ever seen.
 
I picked up that recent Pharoah Sanders boxset with the Pharoah LP and a second disc with a couple of versions of Harvest Time yesterday. Haven't got on to the second disc yet but spun the original LP a few times last night with a couple of nice strong bottles of fancy beer.
So good, usually wouldn't pay so much for what is essentially an album with a bonus disc but glad I did. Such a great album and package

It's an absolute doozy. The live versions are well worth a listen- of a standard with the studio recordings, completely different vibe to each
