Hey everyone! My buddy and I just released episode 34 of our Philosophy of the World Podcast. This month we put together a primer on Spiritual Jazz. Let me know what some of your spiritual jazz albums are.

Or you can check it out on any podcast app.
this looks good! Will check it out at some point today. My spiritual jazz knowledge is pretty much just the Coltranes and Pharoah Sanders. And I guess some of Sun Ra counts?
Thanks for checking it out! Yeah, I would say some Sun Ra definitely counts - we don’t play any of his material on this episode, but he definitely comes up in our discussions. A lot of cool stuff to dig into in this sub-genre.
A couple of the early Soul Jazz compilations touch on this - Universal Sounds of America and Soul Jazz Loves Strata East are both absolutely brilliant, two of my favourite compilations of any type ever.
New Thing! is a more recent visit to the same territory and also very good.
