• Overlooked jazz milestone: reissue of the album from 1958.

  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 regarded as one of the best Sun Ra albums from his Chicago period, before he and his Arkestra set off from New York in the 1960s for otherworldly avant-garde excursions. “Jazz In Silhouette” was long considered an overlooked milestone that shows Sun Ra as a great creative force in the jazz universe, a center of gravity around which many developments in jazz 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 succeeds in doing what few have managed to do: to be present in the past, present and future at the same time.
