Sound Sun Pleasure is a CD which combines the 1958 recording, Sound Sun Pleasure with the first sides Ra ever recorded in 1955 (released in 1973 as side A of Deep Purple). Those who've only heard Sun Ra's explosive flights of satellite fancy or his recreations of Fletcher Henderson tunes will be pleasantly surprised with these recordings, especially upon hearing the opening cut: a haunting vocal rendition of "Round Midnight" by vocalist Hatty Randolph. |
