Lanquidity is a jazz album by Sun Ra and his Arkestra released in 1978. It's quite different from his earlier recordings in the sense that it was more of a fusion inspired recording. It also features two guitarist which was seldom used in the Arkestra.[1] The funk influence is also considerable, especially on "That's how I feel". The mentioned track also contains a prominent tenor sax solo presumably conducted by John Gilmore, Sun Ra's sideman from the 50's until Sun Ra's death in 1993.
