LP - Limited Edition 180g Blue Vinyl featuring the complete album + bonus track. Contains new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton. 

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. 'Jazz In Silhouette' is one of Sun Ra's most exceptional and highly regarded albums of the 1950s. Although the exact recording dates are unknown, the sessions took place in Chicago towards the end of 1958.

The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave 'Jazz in Silhouette' the prestigious four stars accompanied by a Crown, which is the book's highest rating.

"This marvellous record will surely some day be recognised as one of the most important jazz records since the war." - The Penguin Guide to Jazz.
