israel suite / dominante en bleu

Impossible to find Spiritual Jazz / Funk / Groove / Psych rarity from France, 1973.

Arranged by Sylvain Krief and Jean–Pierre Mas, "Israel Suite" included a side–long suite on side A and shorter songs on Side B. An incredible mix of vocal / spiritual jazz, funk, progressive, jazz–pop, psych...
