Lab Overview

Jazzman deliver the Spiritual Jazz collection you never knew you needed with Volume 9, showcasing the oft-overlooked spiritual side of Blue Note Records. Alfred Lion & Francis Wolff’s jazz behemoth has always stood out to us for their bebop mutations and scholarly, innovative approaches to form (and perhaps most importantly, clean lines) in the 1950s and 60s, but we admit we’ve categorically neglected the spiritual side of their late 60s / 70s output, instead favoring the Mizell Brothers’ jazz-funk sound of mid-career hallmarks by Donald Byrd, Bobbi Humphrey et al. Admittedly, I wasn’t familiar with most of the tracks included on Spiritual Jazz 9, but there’s even an Andrew Hill tune on here taken from an album I’ve never even seen or heard of (“Poinsettia” from One For One, 1975) and he’s my favorite Blue Note pianist. The coveted collection is split into two double vinyl sets (here’s the other one); highlights on Part 1 include Wayne Shorter’s “Footprints,” Bobby Hutcherson’s “Verse,” Elvin Jones’ “At This Point In Time,” Andrew Hill’s “Poinsettia” and Duke Pearson’s “Empathy.” Also includes selections by Pete La Roca, Eddie Gale and Freddie Hubbard. Housed in gatefold jacket with extensive liner notes, recommended.
