Greg Spero + Spirit Fingers - Peace

2020 release

Spirit Fingers is a group that shuns the term supergroup, feeling that it puts limitations on their desire to improvise collectively.

The sound traces in part to early classic fusion bands like Chick Corea’s Return to Forever and some of John McLaughlin’s work but the elements of hip-hop, pop, and dazzling polyrhythms make for a more contemporary stew.

They avoid the clichés that marked fusion of the ‘70s and ‘80s keeping their sound fresh throughout and interspersing guest spots to keep it even more varied.

This is just beautiful music, filled with the telepathic interplay among the members, augmented by terrific guest spots. It’s a “must hear.
