Sun Ra - The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra CD/LP

Sun Ra was a true innovator, releasing music that was a bit different to his peers from his earliest output. But what would Sun Ra have made of today’s music scene? If he is looking down from his cosmic realm, he’ll be pleased to know that his music from the past still sounds eerily futuristic.

Recorded in just one day, on October 10, 1961, "The Futuristic Sounds of Sun Ra" features 11 tracks. Among the selections is the Latin-influenced opener, Bassism, the bluesy Of Sounds and Something Else, and the aptly named, What’s That?, which breaks into a four-saxophone improvisation, stands out as an example of Ra’s early experimental work.

1. Bassism
