Muziek - Bridge Into The New Age

Bridge Into The New Age

€ 16,99

There have been a number of compilations released in the latter years of the 21st century?s first decade that concern themselves with the spiritual jazz of the post-Coltrane years: The first really solid one was King Britt's Cosmic Lounge: A Spiritual Quest for Higher Sound, released on Rapster; Nicola Conte?s Spiritual Swingers: Deep Afrocentric Modal Jazz from Universal Music Archives; Jazzman?s Spiritual Jazz: Esoteric, Modal & Deep Jazz from the Underground 1968 to 1977; Soul Brother's African Spirits: A Spiritual Jazz Journey Looking Back to Africa; Universal Japan's Jazz Supreme: Spiritual Love Is Everywhere, and the P-Vine offering Jazz Supreme: Spiritual Waltz-A-Nova. All of them are worthwhile, though there is some obvious overlap. That said, this set, Bridge into the New Age (named for a tune and album title by Azar Lawrence) on BGP is unique even among these offerings. For starters, all of the material comes from the Prestige vaults since all of these artists, including Lawrence, Gary Bartz, Joe Henderson, Bayete (Todd Cochrane), Idris Muhammad, McCoy Tyner, Norman Connors, and Jack DeJohnette all recorded for its affiliated labels at the time. The most unique aspect of this collection, however, is that this set of tunes showcases most effectively where the spirit of Coltrane?s investigations met the street that Miles Davis was most interested in addressing from the late '60s on. All of these musicians were deeply influenced by both men, and most played with Miles -- Tyner of course, and Alice Coltrane, who appears with Henderson on one tune reflects Coltrane's influence. This is fusion music alright, but it is jazz fusion, where it met soul and funk yet remained firmly in the jazz camp while making use of other musics to further its margins; this was truly new jazz recorded between 1968 and 1974. Compiled, sequenced, and expertly annotated by Dean Rutland, virtually every track is a stone-killer and creates a gorgeous, thought-provoking, and groove-laden aural investigation of jazz during an oft-overlooked period when creativity and musicianship were not only blossoming, but engaging one another in a brave new way. Highly recommended. ~ Thom Jurek
