Chatting about spiritualism: contrasting Tool, Sibelius & Brad Mehldau

Watford Jazz Junction by Chris Newstead

Episode notes

In this week's episode, Chris is joined by his lovely siblings Lotti and Jim.

Lotti is a concert soprano & music appreciation tutor; Jim is a rock drummer and online music reviewer.

We all 3 pick a different album to share and contrast as we reflect on musical spiritualism across the contrasting worlds of classical, rock and jazz music. There's also a very exciting hooter!

Our featured albums are:

  • Lateralus by Tool (2001) released on Volcano

  • The 5th Symphony by Jean Sibelius - recommending Sir John Barbirolli's 1962 recording of Symphonies Nos. 2 & 5 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Halle Orchestra (2008) released on Testament

  • Finding Gabriel by Brad Mehldau (2019) released on Nonesuch
