  • Description

    Limited edition 180g blue vinyl pressing of Sun Ra and His Arkestra's classic 'Jazz In Silhouette', includes bonus track featuring John Gilmore and a unique sticker.

    Penguin Guide To Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested "Core Collection" and awarded it a "crown" accolade.

    "Jazz in Silhouette stands as an overlooked masterpiece, a work that shows Ra not as a mere curiosity or backwater galaxy, but as a major creative force in the jazz universe, a centre of gravity around which many of jazz's major developments have orbited. This album simply inspires, no matter what perspective you adopt: rhythm, melody, ensemble or mood...Jazz in Silhouette shows Ra doing what he did like few others: looking at the past, present and future simultaneously while maintaining a unified musical direction...what results is a captivating set of music that not only firmly establishes Ra in the jazz tradition, but actually puts him on its leading edge, pointing the direction forward." - Mathew Wuethrich
