Rabshakeh Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 I don't think that Ornette Coleman gets classes as "spiritual jazz", but here is an interesting article from the NYT back in the day where he enthuses about the spiritual properties of Southern Christian gospel and Ashkenazi chazonis: https://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/22/arts/music/22cole.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgcim Posted Monday at 03:14 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:14 AM There's the album "Much in Common" by Ray Brown and Milt Jackson, where they finally lured Marion Williams into the studio to make a jazz album. Maybe they should have spoken to her about it before the session, because when she got there, she refused to sing any of that "Devil's Music", so they did one Thomas Dorsey tune, and the other four were spirituals that everyone could get by on, because they were so popular. She later recorded an album for Atlantic, "Standin' Here, Wonderin' Which Way to Turn" that had a picture of a confused looking hippie on the cover, obviously in need of some direction, because the poor white boy was just standing there on the corner..LOL! The record had a bunch of upcoming jazz dudes like Joe Zawinul, Keith Jarrett, etc,,, trying to give her spirituals some type of 'contemporary' 60s groove. Probably because of her refusal to sing ANY secular songs, the album didn't expose the best living female gospel singer to the mainstream audience Atlantic wanted her to reach, and that was the last time she had anything to do with anything remotely jazz related.

sgcim Posted Monday at 03:37 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:37 AM (edited) She also appeared on the Wynton Marsalis 1994 album, In This House, On This Morning. The other album I mentioned was recorded in 1971. Edited Monday at 03:37 AM by sgcim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Pine Posted Monday at 09:47 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:47 AM I was turned on to this recently by Tyler King's substack and have been quite taken with the record. Commissioned by a Catholic church, so I think it's well qualified to be called 'spiritual'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
