Sun Ra's Second Album On Vinyl LP!
Sun Ra's second album was a Delmark release, although it was originally intended for the Transition label, which did not survive long enough to release it. Recorded in 1957.
The music from Sun Ra's Chicago-based band of the 1950s...is quite interesting, for its ties to the bop and swing traditions are much more obvious than it would be in the near future. Ra's eccentric piano and occasional electric keyboard look forward as do some of the harmonies and Jim Herndon's colorful tympani.
