Sun Ra - Supersonic Jazz (expanded) 2 x CDs
SKU
28-CCMS9.2
One of the greatest of Ra’s great run of 50’s releases before he left Chicago and now with 16 more tracks of alternates and more! Hugely recommended.
“When Sun Ra released his debut Saturn release in 1957, he signaled the Arkestra's mission for the future. The cover declared the album a "21st Century Limited Edition." The compositions on Supersonic Jazz conveyed optimism and hope, bringing a message auguring the World of Tomorrow. Ra declared this the first dimension of a fresh art form, as he set about evolving a new American music - a composite of the past and future, the known coalescing with the unknown. The album, not very well received upon release, reveals a vibrant universe of sound, with highly developed arrangements and sophisticated musicianship, especially Ra's innovative keyboard work and John Gilmore's astonishing soloing.”
