Bap-TizumContinuing in our series over at the Jazz Desk in the Music Advice Center, we recommend these albums as 27 instances of great jazz albums that evoke spirituality or invoke a greater power.
If you are interested in joining the conversation at the jazz desk, we build these lists two or three entries at a time, readers as editors and critics. The guidelines are simple: the only limits are one entry per (main) artist, the connection to jazz must be present, and each contributor decides his or her definition of the topic. Surrounding the lists, we discuss the finer points of recommendations, and this takes the conversation into new paths.
