Album artwork for Spirits Known and Unknown by Leon Thomas

Back in stock for this wonderful work from Leon Thomas - easily one of his greatest albums! The record was recorded in 1969, right at the time Leon was working with Pharoah Sanders - and his days with the spiritual jazz giant shine through brightly on the session. The players include James Spaulding, Lonnie Liston Smith, Cecil Mcbee, and the enigmatic 'little rock' (aka Pharoah Sanders!) on tenor. Includes a shorter version of The Creator Has a Master Plan, than the one that was on Sanders' karma album; an excellent vocal version of Horace Silver's classic Song for my Father plus the frenetic dirge Malcolm's Gone.
