The Spirits Up Above is an album by trombonist Steve Turre recorded in 2004 and released on the HighNote label.

[1][2] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "Trombonist Steve Turre pays tribute to his former employer, the remarkable multi-reedist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, on this sincere effort.

[3] On All About Jazz, John Kelman observed "Turre is in a unique position to re-evaluate the music and performances of Kirk, and deliver up The Spirits Up Above, as honest and heartfelt an homage as is possible ...

The best music is meant to be a true symbiosis, and The Spirits Up Above goes a long way to breaking down any invisible barriers between those who play and those who listen".

[4] In JazzTimes, Harvey Siders stated "It’s easy to imagine what Kirk found so attractive in Turre’s nascent technique; it must have appealed to Kirk’s desire to spread his personal gospel of “listen to and play all genres.” Ditto for the other players on the disc, particularly Carter, a monster on tenor".
