A continuation of the excellent Spiritual Jazz series courtesy of Jazzman, this time focussing on Blue Note Records. 19 tracks spread over 2 CDs or two double vinyls and they include many wonderful cuts that do not usually appear on Blue Note comps. Highlights from the first vinyl include Wayne Shorter ‘Footprints’, Freddie Hubbard ‘Assunta’, Duke Pearson ‘The Phantom’, Bobby Hutcherson ‘Searching The Trane’ and Pete La Roca ‘Basra’. On the second vinyl check Joe Henderson ‘El Barrio’, Freddie Hubbard ‘Blue Spirits’, Booker Ervin ‘Gichi’, Wayne Shorter ‘Indian Song’ plus many others. All tracks are on the CDs. I would give it 6 out of 5 stars
