Sun Ra And His Arkestra Jazz In Silhouette

Jazz's overlooked milestone: reissue of the 1958 album.
The recordings for the album "Jazz In Silhouette" were made on March 6, 1958 and released in May of the same year. The album is considered one of the best Sun-Ra albums from his Chicago days before he embarked on off-world avant-garde excursions from New York with his Arkestra in the 1960s. "Jazz In Silhouette" has long been considered an overlooked milestone, showing Sun Ra as a great creative force in the jazz universe, a center of gravity around which many developments in jazz have revolved. An album that inspires no matter what perspective you take on it. Be it in terms of rhythm, melody, mood or ensemble playing, Sun Ra achieves what few have been able to do: being present in the past, present and future at the same time.
"Sun Ra has always known how to surprise, and with this album he impressed me beyond that." (Lp Magazin, April/May 2012)
