The anthem-esque finale is a wonderful idea! It gives the song a powerful, goosebump inducing ending.

Touches of Pharoah in this one - nice nod to the man

I never noticed it's in 5/4 before! Very nice

yeah!, thank you so much for sharing...it´s been such a long time ago i´ve heard a fresh version of this outstanding coltrane tune! very well done! :)

Naima is an absolute classic by John Coltrane, but played here in a lightly 5-4 groove, that gives the composition a new impression!
It flows very naturally despite the odd metre. 
The tune is increasing in level and intensity until the mighty outburst of the anthem-like finale!
This tune is from the first Deep Jazz album "Heaven &amp; Earth".

Naima (from Heaven &amp; Earth, 2010)

Following in the footsteps of the classic Impulse- and Blue Note recordings, DEEP JAZZ is presenting Spiritual- and Modal-Jazz of the highest intensity!
There's a swinging, soulful groove to the whole thing, full of inspired tones and rich colors.
Beautifully executed musicality and fine-woven compositions are brought together - a wealth of righteous grooves that could just as well have been recorded in the late sixties!

If you dig the work of Pharoah Sanders, John and Alice Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson and other giants on Impulse and Blue Note Records, then check out this young German group, that takes the well-absorbed heritage and then runs with those roots in bold new directions!
You can find spirit, swing, and a whole lot more -- a mighty collection of music!
