Recorded in July 1956 and released in 1957, Jazz by Sun Ra Vol. 1 is known to be the first LP by Sun Ra. The album showcases all the musical ideas the musician had previously experimented with: advanced time signatures coupled with harmonic scales based on mathematical equations, all in the service of a clever mix of hard bop, swing and African influences.
