The current release contains one of Sun Ra's most exceptional and highly regarded albums of the 1950s: Jazz in Silhouette.
Although the exact recording dates are unknown, the sessions took place in Chicago towards the end of 1958. The Penguin Guide to Jazzgave 'Jazz in Silhouette'the prestigious four stars accompanied by a Crown, which is the book's highest rating.
