Spiritmuse Records and present Let The Spirit Out, Live at “mu”, a unique concept of recording new material purposefully in a live audience environment, to capture the feeling of connectedness in the ancient ritual of communion through music.

The spiritual jazz master created new material for this album to be performed by the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble over two nights at .ldn an audiophile space for a healing, immersive experience. It conveys a powerful message to the world today, speaking about release, freedom, revelation and empowerment to ‘Let the Spirit Out.’

Leading the EHE with (trumpet), .harding.75054 (baritone sax) and (cello), they’re delivering stunning performances over two unforgettable evenings that became a landmark experience—refined, healing, and transcendent—where improvisation and spirit merged, deepening the profound connection between artists and community.

Let the Spirit Out delivers the deep-listening experience of being present in the very moment of creation, a recorded ritual that sees the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble at their most powerful: raw, expansive, transcendent and deeply attuned to the healing energy of rhythm.

“We, the people of spirit, will rise to a higher consciousness beyond these darkest times, forging telepathic kinships of empowered Love. Jump and Shout, Let the Spirit Out!” - Sir Kahil El’Zabar

Today we’re celebrating the spirit and immeasurable legacy of John Coltrane, the father of spiritual jazz and one of the giants in the history of jazz.

Both our label and our artists have strong ties to the incomparable legend’s music - our label being dedicated to Music for the Spirit, for one.

The spiritual jazz legend , has been carrying forward Coltrane’s legacy and spirit - being deeply inspired by the Great Master, who always resonates in El’Zabar’s compositions, and reimagining Coltrane’s music in offerings like ‘Sketches of a Love Supreme’ (Spirit Gatherer), ‘Resolution’ (A Time for Healing) and the incredible ‘Sketches of an Afro Blue’ (America the Beautiful).

took part in a tribute to John Coltrane last month, marking the anniversary of A Love Supreme, while always honouring Coltrane’s legacy in his musical and spiritual explorations through his own sound, deeply connected to the vision and teachings of Swamini Turiyasangitananda.

No-one can compare to John Coltrane, he’s the definition of Greatest Of All Time. We are humbled and grateful for his enlightening offerings to the world of spiritual and all music.

Surya has experienced the power of Her music better than most. ‘People would pass out,’ he says. ‘People would burst into tears of joy. This music completely went directly through the souls of everyone.’

As part of a community event organised with the environmental organisation , Surya and close collaborator will celebrate the life and music of Swamini Turiyasangitananda with a devotional gathering at S. Mark Taper Amphitheatre, hosted, produced and documented by .la. In honouring Swamini’s eternal legacy, this yearly event allows her everlasting light to shine bright.

Obscure, rare spiritual jazz and deep folk sounds from the French ‘70s - ‘80s underground

Spirit of France is celebrating the French artists who pushed the boundaries of creative music. Recording in caves during the full moon, with fascinating, peculiar instruments, with sounds influenced by Indian, African, Arabic and Eastern cultures, this is what makes this album so unique.

Spirit of France is a journey of imaginary folklore into France’s underground melting pot music scene, ft. Jef Gilson, Workshop de Lyon and Ghédalia Tazartès and an ode to the extraordinary unacknowledged heroes such as L’Empire des Sons, Rémy Couvez, André Fertier, Pân-Râ and many more.

We’re proud of this anthology that celebrates the French avant-garde scene by blending spiritual jazz influences with deep folk, at the crossroads of the tribal, the secular, and the universal.

Released on this day in 2022, this landmark, collectors’ item compilation, brought together timeless tracks and rare gems from visionary French artists who helped shape a new sound in the realm of avant-garde, boundary-pushing jazz music.

In celebration, we’re offering 20% OFF on the last few copies of Spirit of France throughout the week!

“What other ancient sites lie buried across the motherland, and what other ancient knowledge lies buried with them? We must perform sonic archaeology to rediscover the eternal truths that not only manifest in this ancient site, but which also live and breathe through us!” - Dr. Adam Zanolini

The album Journey To Nabta Playa from and is rooted in a shared inquiry into the ancient astrological stone circle of Nabta Playa in Nubia, dating to 8th millenium BCE.

Nabta Playa - the world’s oldest astronomical site - connects the rise of Sirius and Orion with knowledge from the ancient Nile valley, demonstrating how African science and knowledge flowed northwards long before the pyramids were built. As Dr. notes, Nabta Playa rewrites the narrative of where human civilisation truly began, defying Eurocentric notions that deprive Sub-Saharan Africa of its history.

“The site symbolises being in tune with nature,” explains Naima Nefertari. “It’s about a holistic way of understanding we are part of a much bigger existence: where stars [like Sirius] are connected to when a plant might bloom, when water flows and human beings feel the need to have gatherings. It’s about balance.”

However, Nabta Playa is under threat from a canal project endangering its landscape and legacy. “The fate of this ancient site is precariously un-balanced,” writes Angel Bat Dawid, prompting urgent conversations around heritage preservation.

Journey To Nabta Playa is a cosmic procession, reclaiming the obscured history of Africa’s brilliance.

If every milestone album has a journey attached to it, Journey To Nabta Playa’s began in Sweden. Blending the sacred and the experimental, and recorded the album between Chicago and Southern Sweden, at the family home of Don and Moki Cherry - drawing deep from the well of community, lineage, and spiritual practice.

It was here that Naima Nefertarti and Angel Bat Dawid surrounded themselves with “vintage books on the blues and history, candles, Egyptian busts, and myriad instruments, many belonging to Naima’s grandfather, the late Don Cherry...they sketched out their fantasies on the schoolhouse blackboard and the family piano. Beautifully painted by Naima’s grandmother.”

The location of this recording channels Don and Moki Cherry’s unique spirits and unwavering dedication to intercultural connectedness. The refuge of this space enabled the undaunted creative expression present on the album.

“It needed to happen there,” says about the album creation, “in that big room that has harnessed and carried our family and so many of our people with its powerful creative energy over time.”

You can read more about the process of recording Journey To Nabta Playa in the beautiful booklet included with the LP, featuring texts by ,, , Neneh Cherry, Angel Bat Dawid and artworks by Naima Nefertari, and .

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of the incomparable Sun Ra on his solar return day, whose vast output of innovative jazz shifted music forever.

Sun Ra remains an immense presence within the world of spiritual jazz - named after Ra, the ancient Egyptian sun god, Sun Ra infused African localities into both his music & the Thmei broadsheets he composed with Alton Abraham, pulling from book culture on Chicago’s South Side and the works of historians such as Constantin- François Volney and J. A. Rogers. Nubia, a region in Northeast Africa and the location of the ancient site of Nabta Playa, was also a significant part of his worldview, representing ancient African civilization & culture.

Emily Pothast, writing for The Wire, sees Journey To Nabta Playa as part of “the same African-American spiritual tradition that fed the likes of Sun Ra and the Coltranes & which continues to spring up in places like Chicago.”

Just as Ra and his Arkestra would incorporate instruments creatively, such as the inclusion of Pat Patrick’s “space lute,” to craft this image of Nubia, Angel Bat David and Naima Nefertari also invented their own sounds when making Journey To Nabta Playa, the Winds of Jupiter and Winds of Saturn, merging them with acoustic instrumentation.

Gail Tasker of Jazzwise explains: “The result is along the lines of Sun Ra’s work, both alien and earthly, with a liberating, spiritual undertone, transporting the listener through the cosmos.”
