Peter Friedman Posted February 19 Report Posted February 19 An interesting recording where all the tunes were originally by Serge Charloff. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 I listened to this 2 LPs on one cd Impulse release that has gathered dust too long. I love Gonsalves. The first LP has him with Rolf Ericson, Johnny Hodges, Ray Nance and whoever set the tempos really chose some intriguing ones that led to steady slow grooves. 300×300 7.46 KB Now I’m listening to the second disc of the Wes Montgomery set that I listened to the first disc from this morning.

jazzbo Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 Marvin Gaye “Here my Dear” Expanded Edition, Motown 2 cd set, disc 2 One of my three favorite Marvin Gaye releases. Sounding really good this evening. Quote

Rabshakeh Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 Phi-Psonics – Expanding To One One of the better recent fake spiritual jazz records. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 Since it was still sitting on top of the rack I’m now playing the first disc in this set. Marvin Gaye “Here my Dear” Expanded Edition, Motown 2 cd set, disc 1 Quote
jazzbo Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 Tyshawn Sorey Trio +1 With Greg Osby “The Off-Off Broadway Guide To Synergism” Pi 3 cd set, disc 3 400×400 28.3 KB A fascinating release. THis time around I am noticing how Osby sometimes gets his horn to sound like an accordian or concertina! Quote

Spiritual jazz in 2026 seems to me to be more like a registered trademark than anything meaningful. Lots of kids wearing sunglasses making instrumental music with the trappings of Pharaoh Sanders with Lonnie Liston Smith or Alice Coltrane, but no real jazz or spirituality content. Like a "race car" that is just a Nissan Micra with a spoiler on the back. That's what I mean by "fake" spiritual jazz. Anyone, for all that, some of these records are good. I like this one. It has excellent production that reminds me a bit of Fourtet, and that gives it a suppleness. I'd like it more if they were doing something new rather than using new technology to do something old, but in its own way that's new. Worth a go if you want some warm background music with harps and flutes. 2025 really seems like it was a bumper crop of good record. This is by no means the best but I certainly enjoyed it.

I'm not up-to-date enough to have a take on it. Quote
