Hey hillbilly, if you've heard John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" then you've heard spiritual jazz. It's tough to pin down what exactly it is, but there's something "cosmic" about it. Check out Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, Lonnie Liston Smith, Mary Lou Williams, Pharoah Sanders, Don Cherry, Steve Reid for the original wave. Tonight we'll get into some contemporary jazz musicians following in their footsteps.

Hi Bruce! Yes, it's fun to be in live tonight. It's been even longer for you. Hopefully things will align during your next visit for a live show in the studio.
