Alice Coltrane – Journey In Satchidananda
$46.95
Released in 1971, *Journey in Satchidananda* arrived as Alice Coltrane was deepening her study of Vedantic philosophy under Swami Satchidananda, whose influence gives the album its name and its meditative center of gravity. The intersection of her harp voicings with Sanders' soprano saxophone created a sound that had no real precedent, drawing equally from Indian classical music, free jazz, and devotional practice. For collectors, the Acoustic Sounds reissue is the way this music was always meant to be heard.
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.
