Spirit of the New Land

Doug Carn on organ and piano, Jean Carn on vocals, turning Coltrane and McCoy Tyner melodies into something closer to gospel. Black Jazz Records put this out on a shoestring, and it shows in the rawness — not a knock, it's part of the charm. 'Little B's Poem' is the one to start with, a melody that just floats. Spiritual jazz with an actual voice on top, which sets it apart from half the label's catalog.
