Alice Coltrane: A Monastic Trio (Verve By Request Series 180g) Vinyl LP

Spiritual free-jazz legacy. Alice Coltrane’s first solo album is a tribute to her husband John, who had passed away the previous year. She carries his spirit on through songs like “Ohnedaruth” which was his adopted Hindu name. She enlisted a trove of great artists to play on the record: from Pharoah Sanders and Rashied Ali to Jimmy Garrison and Ben Riley. The album flows with life and energy and is a must have for any true jazz head. first time on vinyl in 10 years 180g black vinyl pressing Verve By Request edition pressed at Third Man Pressing in Detroit housed in gatefold sleeve w/ liner notes featuring Alice Coltrane (p, harp), Pharoah Sanders (t. sax, flute), Jimmy Garrison (b), Rashied Ali (d), Ben Riley (d) original release year: 1968 music label: Impulse! 2024 reviewed by boumtje-boumtje 07/2014
