Lanquidity
Encyclopedia
Lanquidity is a jazz album by Sun Ra
and his Arkestra released in 1978. It is quite different from his earlier recordings in the sense that it was more of a fusion inspired recording. It also features two guitarists which were seldom used in the Arkestra. The funk influence is also considerable, especially on "That's How I Feel". The mentioned track also contains a prominent tenor sax solo by John Gilmore
, Sun Ra's sideman from the '50s until Sun Ra's death in 1993.
