When the sun rose on Sun Ra in the mid-20th century, his innovative style cast a shining light that spurred the development of modern jazz and other forms of popular music. Just listen to the captivating sound of India on this album. Crashing cymbals herald a haunting theme established by the composer, playing an electric piano, which draws the listener into a mysterious soundscape that haunts the imagination. Such exotic use of percussion and instrumental effects was way ahead of its time when the album Super-Sonic Jazz was first released in 1957.
