Sun Ra and His Arkestra- Jazz in Silhouette

SKU: 881626587911
$59.00
Sun Ra and His Arkestra- Jazz in Silhouette
Sun Ra and His Arkestra- Jazz in Silhouette

Enshrined in the Penguin Jazz Guide's "Core Collection", this quintessential platter of Sun Ra's late 1950s Chicago ensemble showcases the brilliant tenor sax stylings of John Gilmore, and introduces Arkestra mainstays Marshall Allen, Pat Patrick, and Ronnie Boykins. Recorded and issued in 1959, it marks a coda for the bandleader's bebop/hard-bop stage, as his interstellar traveler persona began to transform the band (and the music). Many of the early works on these recordings would remain staples in Arkestra set lists for the rest of Sun Ra's life. Includes the complete, contemporaneous Sound Sun Pleasure LP, rare stereo mixes, and bonus tracks.

Track List

  1. Enlightment (Stereo)Saturn
  2. Velvet
  3. Ancient Aiethopia (Stereo)
  4. 'Round Midnight
  5. You Never Told Me That You Care
  6. Hour of Parting
  7. Back in Your Own Back Yard
  8. I Could Have Danced All Night
  9. State Street (Alternate Previously Unreleased)
  10. Blues from Saturn (Previously Unreleased)
  11. Hours After (Single Version)
  12. Great Balls of Fire (Single)
  13. Horoscope (Stereo Incomplete Previously Unreleased)
Format: New Vinyl/Jazz

Open My Records To Avoid Seam Splitting During Shipping

In order to ship your records to you in the safest way possible, and to avoid seam splits, we recommend removing the record from the jacket when shipping. That said, we will never open sealed records and do this without your permission. If you would like your records shipped to you this way, please add this product to your cart.

We will place your jacket and record inside a FREE protective poly.
