Product Description
ONE OF THE MOST ENIGMATIC OF JAZZ PLAYERS, SUN RA WAS EITHER BORN IN CHICAGO AS THE RESEARCHERS SAID OR HE CAME FROM SATURN IF WE BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS. DOESN’T MATTER TOO MUCH ANYWAY, IMPORTANT IS HE LEFT OVER 100 LP’S OF VERY DIVERS, SOPHISTICATED, INNOVATIVE MUSIC.
“AS SOON AS I STARTED TO PLAY, I DEDICATE MY MUSIC NOT TO YHE MAN BUT TO THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, IN ORDER TO SHOW THAT ON THIS PLANET FULL OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL THAT HE MADE…” (SUN RA)
THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED IN 1959 AND RELEASED IN 1970 ON SATURN RECORDS (HIS OWN Â LABEL). IS A BIT UNUSUAL FOR EARLY SUN RA RECORDS BECAUSE HAS MAINLY STANDARDS
THIS IS A REISSUE ON 180 GRAM VINYL, STILL SEALED.
