Shilts - Headboppin - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Miami's long running vocal group, The Spiritual Harmonizers, represent old school a cappella gospel singing at it's finest. Originally led by lead vocalist Otis Wright, then by his son Artise Wright, Spiritual Harmonizers made quite a few recordings on a variety of labels including their own Spiritual Harmonizer imprint. The group remained active well into the 2010s and fortunately left behind a fair amount of output that showcase what a great unit they were. Presented here is InchThe Failure Is Not In God, It's In MeInch b/w InchCall God (He'll See You Through),Inchone of their fine singles from the early 70s, originally released as Spiritual Harmonizer #25. This rare single is presented here newly remastered and finally made available in the digital domain.

Featuring reinterpretations of famous jazz standards by artists like Joe Lovano, Lee Konitz, Bill Frisell, Charlie Haden, and his daughter Petra Haden on vocals, Paul Motian creates an audio film about scenes in New York City for closed eyes.

While retaining the thoroughly modern post-bop aesthetic they cultivated over their first 3 recordings, the Halifax-based trumpeter Paul Tynan and baritone saxophonist Aaron Lington from San Jose, CA, decided to tackle the hard-bop organ band for their latest. Joining them on 7 original compositions are guitarist Jake Hanlon, organist Tony Genge, and drummer Terry O'Mahoney. Through their composition and improvisation, the Bicoastal Collective creates engaging and passionate music. InchEach complements the other in just the right way, while still showing a true command of his instrument with a very studied and soulful essence.Inch - International Trumpet Guild.Inch... fresh and vibrant...
