Jazz by Sun Ra was Sun Ra’s first properly distributed LP. Although some sources state it was his debut, he had previously recorded and released various other sessions dating back to 1949 on his own Saturn label. The LP featured original compositions by Sun Ra along with one by Arkestral bassist Richard Evans. The single non Arkestral composition was “Possession”, by Harry Revel, which had been written for Les Baxter’s album Perfume Set to Music. “Possession” was arranged for the Arkestra by the Texan pianist and composer Prince Shell.
