Pink Elephants On Parade
When you wish upon a star… that turns out to be Saturn.
Previously unheard Ra culled from the archives and compiled based on their association to that children’s film corporation with the cartoon rodent. Features almost a half hour of non-LP bonus material!
Jazz aficionados and Disney nerds alike will marvel at how seamlessly Sun Ra and his Arkestra put their own unique twist on both well-known and overlooked Disney songs. Pink Elephants on Parade takes nine songs from Disney’s storied catalog and recontextualizes them as beautiful, fun, and sometimes terrifying pieces of Afrofuturist jazz. The collection also shows further proof of how Ra was always willing to transcend conventions of jazz. Listen to the full album and you will likely never look at the Disney music catalog the same way ever again.
