2003, Atavistic
This is a collection of an extremely under documented part of Sun Ra’s musical career. These are arrangements for vocal groups that Sun worked with in the ‘50s. These are entirely unreleased and unlike all other Sun Ra material. Since the Unheard Music Series strives to educate as well as entertain, this collection also includes a recent interview with the Cosmic Ray’s (one of the aforementioned vocal groups) manager regarding Sun’s work with vocal groups.
