Spiritual/soul jazz from early 70s and later.


Can you recommend albums that you really like ?

Agree about Shirley Scott.  Her recordings with husband and tenor great Stanley Turrentine stand out for me. 

By the way, John McLaughlin's compositions Life Divine and Sanctuary can be called spiritual jazz. Spiritual fusion, I would say.

My favorite in the spiritual jazz album category is Yusef Lateef, “Eastern Sounds”.  

These are contemporary-maybe that qualifies as later-but superb:

Liz Wright-Fellowship

Liz Wright-Grace

Victory-Glory Hour

Liz Wright is an amazing talent.

Yusef Lateef was truly great and suggesting him reminds me to add Ahmed Abdul-Malik to this list.  I also second the nomination of Liz Wright for highest commendations.  This is turning into a damn fine compendium.
