Nicole Mitchell - Mandorla Awakening II: Emerging Worlds

Kudos to former UMFM programmer Jeff Friesen - aka Little Beard - for always keeping an eye out for the far-reaches of jazz sounds. It's thanks to him that FPE Records from Illinois and this record from Nicole Mitchell came to my attention. If you've been digging the Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda comp that recently came out, Mandorla Awakening II: Emerging Worlds should be on your to-do list.
