• NEW COLLECTION OF COLORED CLASSIC LPs
• LIMITED EDITION • 180 GRAM VINYL
• INCLUDES 1 BONUS TRACK

Pressed on 180g blue coloured vinyl - the complete LP + 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.
