Very good japanese jazz rock. Sound is very good and nice to enjoy and listen to. I like it a lot and recommend.

Very good album and great to listen to. Sound is very good and I recommend to others as well to listen.

While a far cry from the phenomenal albums Wayne Shorter released in the 60s, these tracks will worm into your ear and germinate. Though not typically categorized as spiritual jazz, give this a listen if you're a fan of the genre. Solid jade green disc reminiscent of translucent green vinyl.

This is a bridge between the early and late sound of one of the pre-eminent bands of the 20th century. But this isn't only of interest for those who want to see their evolution and when they take-off for the outer orbits of experimentation: this is a really fantastic album worth checking out for its own merits that is simultaneously meditative and intensely expressive.

This synthy fusion of jazz, funk, and soul is one of the great chill-out albums. The positive vibes are like sunshine. There's a reason it's been sampled endlessly.

This spiritual jazz classic is a sonic island: far out, nothing nearby, with vast, stunning panoramas. Do you know the part in 2001: A Space Odyssey when Bowman encounters the monolith? That's what will happen to you on the first listen.

Grand spiritual jazz. Nothing else sounds quite like this album, which is bookended by re-imaginings of two John Coltrane tracks awash in psychedelic vibes. A true standout in 70s jazz for its unique instrumentation, vision, and beauty.

For me Norah Jones was at her best in her first two albums. The sound is perfect for her dreamy mix of country and jazz. Here she is assisted by The Band's drummer Levin Helm and Dolly Parton.

Very good album. Reminds me of old times. I recommend a lot. Sound is also very good and great to listen.

The Water Is Wide finds Lloyd applying his low-key tenor and lovely unassuming tonality to serene melody making for the most part. The warmth that permeates this disc is palpable and real.

Technically daunting, these recordings are uncannily accessible and there is something new to be discovered with each listen. Guitar virtuosity at it’s zenith.

This extraordinary recording foreshadows Rosenwinkel’s now legendary fourth album The Next Step, released in 2001. A recording will never quite catch the drama of a truly great live performance, but Next Step Band Live at Smalls 1996 gets about as close to that dramatic fire as you could hope for. Both dyed-in-the-wool Rosenwinkel aficionados and those new to his work will appreciate an engaging and enveloping set that transports the listener back to a particular time for jazz in New York and to a legendary club on a Tuesday night – for what was clearly a magical evening.

Wonderful packaging love the 7”inch sleeves. Sounds wonderful on my Yamaha cd2100 both the stereo and the mono SACDs.

Outstanding live jazz release. Sounds amazing on SACD. Happy to add this to my collection. Highly recommended.

Wayne Shorter was a phenom in the 60s and he's supported here by some jazz titans. This is a seriously good album that explores a range of moods with fevered energy and tight musicianship.

This is a really fantastic album by one of my favourite jazz musicians. An essential spiritual jazz album that pairs astral jazz and free jazz. This album explores a more varied musical terrain compared to some of Sanders' other albums at the time since the tracks are shorter and there are more of them. It pairs nicely with other essential spiritual jazz of the time like his album Karma and bandmate Lonnie Liston Smith's Astral Travelling. Recommended if you like astral vibes and polyrhythmic grooves even if you're not normally a jazz person.

This is really joyous music. The sound imaging is stellar, with rich layers. The album is two extended tracks: the first cycles through catchy variations of a single motif, while the second is chaotically free but ends calmly meditative --I find Pharoah Sanders' forays into free jazz more accessible than other artists. The positive vibes are like sunshine. Classic black and orange Impulse! disc.

The lineup on this album is full of titans so you know you can expect quality. This may not sound like what first comes to mind when you think of spiritual jazz, it has a more subtle touch and doesn't sound as far out from other strands of jazz, but don't be fooled this is a beautiful, meditative spiritual jazz album. The shade of blue of these Blue Note discs is gorgeous.
