How about early ’80s?
Frogman, Thanks for turning me on to Corea’s Three Quartets.
One of the most profound and moving albums I’ve heard out of all the other great music posted here. That wasn’t an immediate reaction but an awareness developing with repeated listening. The more time spent, the deeper you go. Don’t know what he tapped into for these compositions, but that connection seems to have been with something elemental. Would love to have been a fly on the wall for the recording sessions.
Part 2 of Quartet 2

I loved the comment from one reviewer on Amazon, "I cannot really express in words what this music means to me. This album is a very rare musical treasure, and has been like the voice of god for me 23 years or so....". Voice of God? I won’t claim that, BUT there is SOMETHING going on here that might deserve being called "transcendent".
I could go on but won’t...other than to say I’m also very impressed with Brecker’s playing.
