Alice Coltrane - Journey in Satchidananda LP

Not much to add to the discourse around this one other to say that it’s an all-timer that kicks right from the start with the groove of Cecil McBee’s iconic bass line which Alice and co. propel into other realms and stratospheres from there and never gets old no matter how many times I’ve played it.

Spiritual jazz should be played loud!

One of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, Alice Coltrane's 4th Impulse! album finds her on piano and harp in the company of saxophonist Pharoah Sanders. "Almost 50 years after [it] was released, the album remains a vision of universal healing, spiritual self-preservation in times of trouble and the god that appears when you seek her out." (NPR). Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
