One of the great enigmatic figures of
jazz, Sun Ra's persona as philosopher,
showman and space enthusiast often
overshadowed his purely musical
accomplishments as one of the most
prolific and creative composers and
big band leaders in the business. The
current release contains one of Sun Ra's
most exceptional and highly regarded
albums of the 1950s: Jazz in Silhouette.
Although the exact recording dates
are unknown (no details were given
on the original LP back cover, which
included no liner notes at all) it was
recorded in Chicago in late 1958. The
Penguin Guide to Jazz would give Jazz
in Silhouette the prestigious four stars
accompanied by a crown, which is its
highest rating. - BLUE 180G LINER NOTES
