Spiritual/soul jazz from early 70s and later.

Agree about Shirley Scott.  Her recordings with husband and tenor great Stanley Turrentine stand out for me. 

For me, two different genres. Soul Jazz: funky with emphasis on the groove. Groove which has more of a straight, even eighth note feel as opposed to the typical Jazz “swing” feel where the upbeat is closer to the following downbeat, A few that come to mind.  Not strictly from the 70s and beyond, but favorites and perhaps new to you.

Horace Silver’s “Song For My Father” is an early and influential example and a great record.

Cannonball Adderley “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”. Classic.

Les MacCann “Swiss Movement”. Classic.

Lou Donaldson “Funky Mama”

Most things by Hammond B3 players Richard “Groove” Holmes, or Jimmy Smith.

Spiritual Jazz:

As the word says, spiritual, often leaning, or deeply into the avant-garde.

John Coltrane “A Love Supreme”. The greatest.

Pharoah Sanders/Alice Coltrane “Love Is In Us All”, “Jewels Of Thought”

Rahsaan Roland Kirk “Prepare Thyself to Deal With A Miracle”
