Sun Ra – Sound Sun Pleasure!! + We Travel the Space Ways [LP]

This vinyl release compiles two essential mid-century Sun Ra sessions, blending sophisticated “interplanetary” jazz standards with his early explorations of cosmic avant-garde themes. It offers a unique window into the transition of his Arkestra from a polished big band into the groundbreaking Afrofuturist force that redefined modern jazz.
