Simply amazing compilation pulled from many sources that features various Sun Ra configurations performing the music of George Gershwin. The music varies from creative doo-wop versions of Gershwin pop songs to a full arkestra avant-garde version of "Rhapsody in Blue". Some tracks are poorly recorded, but every track is a gem.

In his own words, Tim Daisy and his ensemble "mix intricate orchestration with spirited improvisation".
