Spirit Fingers is a group that shuns the term supergroup, feeling that it puts limitations on their desire to improvise collectively.
The sound traces in part to early classic fusion bands like Chick Corea’s Return to Forever and some of John McLaughlin’s work but the elements of hip-hop, pop, and dazzling polyrhythms make for a more contemporary stew.
They avoid the clichés that marked fusion of the ‘70s and ‘80s keeping their sound fresh throughout and interspersing guest spots to keep it even more varied.
This is just beautiful music, filled with the telepathic interplay among the members, augmented by terrific guest spots. It’s a “must hear.

A story of sadness, confusion, and despair ending in hope and certainty that the cosmos is not a random and meaningless jumble of atoms populated by mindless mechanical men, but a world of meaning, beauty, and truth. Emotions and the heart are not everything, but they are an essential part of being human. ianjworsomething
how did I miss this release? I'm just finding out about it over a year later. listened to the samples. then immediately purchased CD/digital. I'll sleep by my mailbox. hard to pick a favorite track. they all sound good. but I'll start with Interregnum. great album!!! steevocrag
