"Esoteric, modal and deep jazz from the European undergound, 1963-72"
At the end of the "50s, Miles Davis" Kind of Blue heralded the revelatory arrival of
modal jazz. As the vibrations of these giant steps resonated across the world,
European jazz musicians reassessed their bearings and began to steer a new course.
Across the continent they sent roots down into the rich soil of the European folk and
Christian liturgical traditions, extended their music along ancient routes of
communication and trade to the Middle East, and reached across the crumbling ramparts
of the European empires to the music of Asia Africa and Latin America.
The music collected here follows the richly tangled threads of meditative, modal and
religious European jazz. Picking up where Spiritual Jazz 2: Europe left off, with
volume 3 continuing our excavation of private releases, underrepresented artists and
visionary one-offs that stud the European jazz landscape like standing stones. Just
as it had waxed, so the cult of American jazz waned, and these recordings are the
compelling documents of a musical world in imaginative transition and virtuoso
transformation - a second trail of determined footprints on the pathways of European
jazz.
THE MUSIC
Sublime choral jazz in an ecclesiastical setting, revolutionary sounds deep within
the USSR, radical modal experiments inspired by excursions to the Asian continent and
Latin America, advances in rhythm and sound where modern jazz combines with Balkan
and Scandinavian folk traditions. This is Spiritual Jazz - European style.
