Sun Ra
Spaceship Lullaby
Compil. US 2003 on Atavistic label
Jazz (Rhythm’n’Blues, Vocal)
Subtitled "the vocal groups - featuring Nu Sounds, The Lintels & The Cosmic Rays. Chicago 1954-1960". Part of Atavistic's Unheard Music Series. A compilation of obscure recordings from the mid-1950’s, featuring Ra’s work with several vocal ensembles from the period. The recordings were not well documented at the time of recording, so not all the musicians featured on this release are known... Tracks 1 to 17 and 18 to 22 are home recordings, circa 1955. Tracks 23 to 30 are home recordings from the mid-50s. Tracks 31 to 37 are rehearsal recordings, circa late-50s to 1960.
