From NUMERO's Eccentric Soul series! Built around the concept of soul music influenced by "spiritual jazz" — the strain of jazz that flourished from the late 1960s into the '70s, expressing a search for spirituality, the soul, and Black identity — this compilation dives deep into obscure private-press recordings to unearth 10 hidden treasures!

Highlights include the rare "(Where Is The) Sunshine" (sample 1), a beautifully arranged mellow track and the only recording left behind by Baltimore band KALIMA, which caused a stir when the Paris label Chuwanaga reissued it in 2018; LENNY WHITE's "Sweet Dreamer" (sample 2), featuring Linda Tillery on vocals, with an urbane arrangement carrying a jazz/fusion sensibility (the parent album also featured Herbie Hancock, Paul Jackson, and others); "Linda Movement" (sample 3) from Who's Gonna Save The World (2011), the NUMERO-unearthed classic by Washington, D.C. soul-funk band Father's Children; and "Speak Low," a 1980s demo by rare-groove favorites 24 Carat Black featuring singer Larhonda Legett, whose angelic voice recalls Minnie Riperton — a carefully curated set of buried treasures and cult classics.
