Friday the 13th // Spiritual Jazz Listening Session

In the 1960’s jazz was exploding. Artists like John Coltrane were amassing a devoted following playing free, avant-garde music and as American musicians started looking west, collaborations with artists from various African and Asian countries brought about a new way of making music, rooted in the use of music as a spiritual practice. The past 10 years have seen a revival of spiritual jazz with artists like Ganavya and Shabaka Hutchings breathing new life into the genre.

With a new theme each month, the listening sessions will focus on music that is not only beautiful to listen to but that also tells a story about the time and place in which it was made.
