Jazz Supreme - Spiritual Waltz-A-Nova



barabara sounds sez:  
More supremely jazzy sounds from this great series. This was actually the very first of the excellent Jazz Supreme comps, and it sets the tone perfectly. A brilliant blend of classic and club, drawing from the back catalogs of Strata-East, Black Jazz, Tribe and interspersing them with righteous sounds from more recent times. 

 Among my favorites: Abdul Rahim Ibrahim (the former Doug Carn); Dee Dee Bridgewater; and Charles Greenlee (with Archie Shepp of course). And I'm sure I'm not the only person to discover the Pete Jolly Trio through this album. 

trax:
01. John Hicks – After the morning 
02. The Ted Vining Trio – Impressions
03. Dee Dee Bridgewater – Little B's poem
04. S.O.L.A.R. – Faith for my mind
05. Hipnosis – Black Forest stomp
06. Two Banks Of Four – One day
07. The Pete Jolly Trio – My favorite things
08. Abdul Rahim Ibrahim – Tropic sons
09. Haki R. Madhubuti And Nation – Children
10. Pharoah Sanders – Moments notice
11. Kindred Spirits Ensemble – Naima
12. Charles Greenlee – Steam
13. The Descendants Of Mike And Phoebe – Coltrane
14. Doug Hammond – Moves
15. Joe Bonner – Soft breezes

    Thanks for this great compilation. If you happen to have 'Charles Greenlee - I know about the Life', where Steam comes from, could you pleeeaaase post the whole album? It was on a now deleted blogspot years ago, and i missed it at the time. I think it's a wonderful album that deserves to reappear in the blogosphere...

    @ anon

    I agree, a fine album, with plenty of vintage Shepp.

    It's not my rip, but here you go:

    hey TN, hope you're well!
    Hate to do this, but searching everywhere and ended up here : any chance of a re-up of your Charles Greenlea 'I know about the life" link ? :)

    Hey Simon, all hunky thanks and excellent to hear from you!
    I'd be happy to oblige with that — just need to track it down in the archives...
    It may take a moment though...

    Many thanks "Anonymous" for re-upping Charles Greenlee again, all the links I found were extinct, looks like I timed it just right.
    Lovely blog and great passion.
