      ab: The article focuses on *Invocation*, a 20-minute musical work exploring themes of longing and separation through a blend of jazz and spiritual influences. Featuring vocalist Vuyo Sotashe and pianist/synth player Chris Pattishall, the project includes reinterpretations of songs such as “I’ll Look Around,” “I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good),” and a reimagined traditional South African choral piece, “Sylvia.” Produced by post-rock guitarist Rafiq Bhatia and Eric Oberstein, the work incorporates subtle psychedelic elements and sound design that contribute to its evocative atmosphere. The album reflects a nuanced emotional landscape, drawing comparisons to iconic artists like Aretha Franklin and Donny Hathaway in its spiritual expression.
