Album Notes & Community Reviews
A beautiful and unique album from the pioneering jazz violinist Michael White. 'The Land of Spirit and Light' is a deeply meditative and atmospheric work, a key document of the more tranquil side of the spiritual jazz movement. The music is sparse and spacious, with White's lyrical violin and Prince Lasha's ethereal flute creating a sound that is both beautiful and otherworldly. It's a masterpiece of texture and mood.
