BLACK MUSIC AND POETRY BOOKS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JAZZ NEXT STANDARD SPIRITUAL JAZZ Rittor (Japan), 2006 (from Dustygroove.com) "An essential guide to the hippest in jazz from the 60s, 70s, and 80s -- a wonderful book that specializes in underground spiritual jazz recordings! The volume is similar to other Japanese discographies we've carried -- with images of record covers, session dates, titles, and player information -- plus additional text in Japanese -- and the whole thing's a wonderful guide to lost soul jazz treasures from some of our favorite years in jazz -- including a wealth of indie and small label pressings! The book is divided up into different sections -- Part 1 featuring "25 Masters", with individual passages on Gary Bartz, Carlos Garnett, Billy Harper, Weldon Irvine, Don Cherry, and many others; Part 2 features "Fabulous Labels", including Tribe, Nimbus, Black Jazz, and Strata East; and Part 3 features "Extra Classics" -- more albums that are really lasting classics from the post-Coltrane generation! Book is softcover, 160 pages, with most images in color!". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A POWER STRONGER THAN ITSELF.
