Performed in one continuous take, The Spirit of David weaves spiritual jazz with elements of soul, world music, and electric funk, producing a hypnotic, emotive soundscape that resonates with the era’s social unrest and a longing for unity and transcendence. The band—featuring Emmons Porter on bass vocals, Jack Spinovichon drums, Leonard Franklin on guitar, Ray Vega on percussion and congas (not the trumpeter of the same name), and Steve Espanosaon piano—delivers a deeply cohesive and textured performance that transcends its time.
