The Cosmic Tones Research Trio

Here's some pretty wonderful new spiritual jazz from The Cosmic Tones Research Trio.  "Spirit of Truth" feels as equally indebted to new age and classical compositions as it does to jazz music, and i can already tell i'm going to be coming back to this one all day.  Check it out below and pre-order the band's upcoming new, self-titled album here from Mississippi Records.

JJ Whitefield & Forced Meditation

Let's all pause for a moment.  Catch our collective breath.  Relax.  And let's listen to some experimental jazz with hints of spiritual mojo from JJ Whitefield & Forced Meditation.  New album "The Infinity of Nothingness" is out today, and for the moment, i am digging on the chilled and subdued vibes of "Nothingness."  Check it out below and get the record here from Jazzman Albums.  And breathe.

The Circling Sun

The year will be closing out soon, so here's some spiritual jazz from New Zealand's The Circling Sun.  "Kohan" sounds like the world awakening, or maybe something you'd hear on a PBS public service broadcast.  Check it out below and get the band's "Spirits" LP from earlier this year here from Soundway Records.
