For fans of: Radical 70s Jazz

What they're saying: From the experts at Forced Exposure: “Spirit of the New Land poignantly reflected the state of affairs in black America through explicit lyrics sung by his wife Jean and through the expert musicians' responses to life-altering societal developments in a hopeful time when the slogan "Black Power" carried real meaning. The album is flush with riveting modern jazz, which often leans toward the spiritually-inclined music of the John Coltrane Quartet.”

Its imbued with the adventurous spirit of the era, and features some killer players noteworthy for those that dig the radical side of early 70s jazz.
