A New Perspective

A landmark gospel-infused album that became one of the cornerstones of the soul-jazz movement. Arranged by Duke Pearson, the session masterfully blends a hard bop quintet with the sound of a wordless choir, creating a powerful atmosphere of awe and contemplation. The centerpiece, 'Cristo Redentor,' became a jazz standard and a commercial success, proving that modern jazz could draw from sacred music to create something profoundly moving and popular.
