When the Spirit Returns  (Audio CD) 
by Lester Bowie Brass Fantasy

Shortly before his death in 1999, Lester Bowie finished work on his final album, "When The Spirit Returns." On it, he uses the modern grooves of Notorious B.I.G. and TLC, the soulful pop of Whitney Houston and Vanessa Williams, and universal anthems like Bob Marley’s "One Love" as starting points for his thrilling jazz adventures. The closing tune, Bowie’s ethereal classic "When The Spirit Returns," comforts us with the idea that the music and spirit of this legendary jazz man will be with us for many years to come.
