Spoon Meets Pao – With Kindred Spirits
Spoon Meets Pao – With Kindred Spirits
A soulful, groove-led collaboration that blends blues tradition, jazz phrasing, and roots-driven storytelling, With Kindred Spirits brings together Spoon and Pao in a loose, emotionally charged studio session built around feel, space, and improvisation.
Drawing from deep blues and early jazz standards alongside original material, the album moves effortlessly between grit and grace. Tracks like Trouble In Mind and Ain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do lean into classic blues language - direct, unvarnished, and emotionally immediate - while originals such as Send Me Mr Pao and Sweet Lotus Blossom expand the palette into more modal, exploratory territory.
The playing is relaxed but deeply intentional, prioritising groove and interaction over polish. You can hear the musicians listening as much as performing, giving the record a spontaneous, late-night-session quality that feels both intimate and unforced.
A crossover session in the truest sense, With Kindred Spirits sits comfortably between jazz club atmosphere and blues-house confession - warm, human, and quietly magnetic.
