COLTRANE, ALICE - Journey in Satchidananda

"A great leap in jazz experimentation, this 1971 release successfully joins American free jazz with ethereal and spiritual Indian classical music. With Coltrane leading on harp and piano, theres a significant presence of Tulsis beautiful tamboura playing on the first 5 tracks, along with the restrained and melodic sax of Pharoah Sanders, bass by Cecil McBee, drums by Rashied Ali, and bells by Majid Shabazz. The 6th and final track was recorded live at The Village Gate, and features some great interplay between Charlie Haden on bass and Vishnu Wood on oud. Original full color artwork."
