that run of LPs is fan-TAS-tic, including 'Slewfoot', probably my fave Connors LP because it bridges all those styles so effortlessly, and sounds so great!
That's my man right there. I'll buy anything with Wadud on it. I love those jawns he did with James Newton and Anthony Davis on India Navigation and Sackville. I think there's a duet LP with Julius Hemphill on Black Saint too. Oh shit! And what about those jawns with "Black" Arthur Blythe? Sick.
not too sure what is defined as spiritual. but i like malachi magoustus favors "the natural & the spiritual" and since it has the word spiritual in it im assuming that qualifies

[plug] I wrote an article for the next wax poetics on the place where that was recorded (The East) complete with interviews, photographs, the works. The story behind the location is mind-blowing and could fill 10 books, so it's really just a glimpse into that world. Suffice to say they were walkin like they were talkin - listen to "invocation". There's a book that just came out that sums up the political side of things, called "truth crushed to the earth will rise again" by kwasi konadu. (you can find it on amazon) [/plug]

a lot of it is typical tribe ( not that there is anything wrong with that ) but the track that stokes me is when he gets all fragile and sings this mellow deprived spiritual ballad. shit is fragile as a nutsac.
Most Strata East & Black Jazz titles fall under this category, Tribe also. Horace Silver's United States... is my fav. I also like Andy Bey's Experience & Judgement. Somebody metioned Stan Clarke Children of Forever (Love this!)
Gary Bartz - Taifa/Uhuru Nathan Davis - If (and others) Hugh Masekela - Emancipation of Hugh Masekela/Lasting Impressions of Ooga Booga Max Roach - Members Don't Git Weary Hutcherson/Harold Land - San Francisco Horace Silver - (Silveto lps) Feather - Chen Yu Lips/Zanzibar/Goin' Through Changes
I know one of these is considered spiritual jazz, I dont know about the other three, but I like 'em a lot.
What's up that Phil Woods? I didn't know he went out there, after all that shit he used to talk about Braxton.
Yeah, what up.
I got all those xcept the woods.
its a big, funky, tripped out record. Lots of rhodes, some synth squiggles...Phil plays through effects and his playing is in a kind of post-bop, he reaches, but remains fluid, he doesnt squeal or skronk much, but he gets out there. The first track, the way it is mixed, could easily be a instro out-take from the "Low End Theory" the bass and drums are so ridiculously fat and loud. But I would call it spiritual because it has chimes and shit on it.
I always have thought of "spiritual" jazz being modal and different from the funky electric jazz like on the Black Jazz label, nathan davis "If" that kind of thing, which is really more R&B ish. Are they really included?
