El Is A Sound Of Joy by Sun Ra & His Arkestra captures the enigmatic spirit and forward-thinking jazz that defined Sun Ra’s cosmic vision. Recorded in the late 1950s and featuring the soulful baritone of Charles Davis, this album showcases the ensemble’s imaginative interplay and lush, postmodern takes on space, time, and the vibrant energy of Chicago’s jazz scene.
This special release brings together the shimmering “El Is A Sound Of Joy,” originally from the legendary Supersonic Jazz sessions, and the evocative “Black Sky And Blue Moon,” previously unissued from 1959. With Modern Harmonic’s expert remastering, each nuance of Ra’s disciplined arrangements and the Arkestra's ethereal harmonics come through in vivid clarity, making it an essential piece for jazz aficionados and fans of Sun Ra’s extraordinary legacy.
