Spiritual Jazz 13: Now, Part 2 (2lp)
The first 12 volumes of Jazzman's hugely popular 'Spiritual Jazz' series have unearthed a wealth of historic recordings in the genre, collating a variety of works from the '50s to the '80s by artists from all around the world. And so, with Volume 13, they turn our attention to what's happening NOW. Over the course of 24 tracks and spanning 2 double LPs, Jazzman presents an overview of the contemporary exponents of spiritual jazz; musicians who are intent on bringing something personal to the table, as much as they recognize the importance of those who have paved the way for them. Featuring music recorded within the past 20 years and from 15 different countries, including modern classics from veterans Steve Reid and Idris Ackamoor, providing a vital link between the past masters and the enlightened new generation.
