VARIOUS ARTISTS - Spiritual Jazz Vol.7 - Islam (Sealed) (2LP)

Songs ancient and divine, the seventh volume of Jazzman's acclaimed 'Spiritual Jazz' series examines the influence and impact of Islam on four decades of jazz innovation. The tracks on this collection follow the story of Islam and jazz from the 1950s to the 1980s. Recorded by muslim jazz musicians, they often draw specifically on Middle Eastern or Islamic music, dream of an esoteric or spiritual Afro-East, or invoke the landscape and sound worlds of Islamic Africa.
