from Billboard, back in 2003:

Damn, I thought this was gonna be about the "Spirit Music Sextet"

I caught her in New Orleans last year playing with them and it was the shit! Her horn players are sick!! I'm talking Coltrane sick! I was under the impression this would be her next release.

She's calling it Spirit MusicJamia.... I thought it WAS the same thing....

Oh, cool! It's only available through Amazon France though? You know they're taxing.

Thanx.

sinisterpentatonic said:

I just checked and it's not being release through Amazon fr until march, so maybe it'll be coming out here soon after.

Yeah, I originally heard that it was going to come out here in the US through Verve records, but that was awhile ago, and I haven't heard or seen anything about a US release since then...
