When Boston trumpeter Milt Ward brought together a collection of promising young musicians to
record Milt Ward And Virgo Spectrum in 1977, the cosmos jazz record that ensued was
remarkably outstanding. Sadly, many were not ready at the time, and the album was forgotten.
But over the ensuing decades, word of Milt Ward And Virgo Spectrum spread, becoming a
heavily bootlegged cult classic. Thankfully the discerning folks from New York’s boutique
Frederiksberg Records were able to unearth this buried treasure to remaster and reissue. A
fusion of spiritual jazz mixed with strains of soul and funk - the album provides a journey through
the cosmos on sound waves that are both otherworldly, and infectiously groovy.

Genre: Jazz, Spiritual Jazz, Soul-Jazz, Funk, Fusion
