The second volume from Jazzman's brilliant "Spiritual Jazz" series! Unearthing late sixties and early seventies rare and independent jazz gems. The first one was brilliant and this definitely lives up to its predecessor.

A glorious mix; stirring jazz overtures with orchestra and choir, modal montages inspired by pilgrimages to Asia and Africa, experiments in rhythm and sound where modern jazz meets traditional Balkan and Flamenco folk music.

The music on here was created when a cultural and political revolution taking place.  In the US, artists took control of their own musical destiny as small labels broke away from the mainstream, expressing new and creative visions of freedom and peace against a backdrop of civil unrest, repression and war.
