It was recorded in 1956 at the RCA Studios in Chicago and was actually the first album to be released on El Saturn Records, a label owned and run by Alton Abraham and Sun Ra. The label El Saturn is considered, along with the Charles Mingus\/Max Roach Debut label and Harry Partch's Gate 5 label, one of the very first and most active artist-owned record labels.\u003cbr\u003e\"Super Sonic Jazz comes from the mid-1950s. It is a set of originals combining conventional harmony and orchestrations with a thoroughly individual 'voice' (conveyed in occasional devices like Wilburn Green's use of electric bass on 'Super Blonde' and the closing 'Medicine for a Nightmare') and a striking gentleness that contrasts sharply with the often brutal aspect of contemporaneous hard bop. So good is Julian Priester 's own brief 'Soft Talk' (the only non-Sun Ra composition) that one immediately wishes for more.\" - **** 1\/2 Richard Cook \u0026amp; Brian Morton, The Penguin Guide to Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"0","offers":[{"title":"Standard Black Vinyl","offer_id":56316024946952,"sku":"REL-04455","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/6723\/1240\/files\/4fae8f2295010fd5b10496d453f2ede6.jpg?v=1775649647","url":"https:\/\/www.relevantrecordcafe.co.uk\/products\/sun-ra-his-arkestra-super-sonic-jazz-1-bonus-track","provider":"Relevant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
