Spirit was quite a group.  I'm sure some jazz guys took notice, especially with Ed Cassidy on drums.  According to lore, Cassidy had played with Cannonball, Rahsaan, Art Pepper, Lee Konitz, and Gerry Mulligan among others.  John Locke also had a lot of jazz flourishes in his playing.  I still play their first four albums quite a bit, especially 'The Family That Plays Together'.  And their soundtrack to 'The Model Shop' is pretty great.
