In this episode, we are exploring the gospel sounds coming from the Blue Note Records catalog! Alfred Lion was notorious for asking musicians to record something "groovy" and some of Blue Note's best artists went back to church for inspiration and wrote something in a gospel vein. We break down some of these tracks for you to enjoy. Hallelujah!
