Leon Thomas | Spirits Known and Unknown | Album

Spirits Known and Unknown is the debut album by American jazz vocalist Leon Thomas, originally released in 1969 on the Flying Dutchman label. The album is acclaimed for its innovative blend of jazz, blues, and world music, and introduced his signature "yodeling" vocal technique.
