A Monastic Trio
Alice Coltrane
Recorded after the death of John Coltrane, the project shows the artist moving away from post-bop traditions. These tracks capture a spiritual awakening and a focus on celestial atmospheres.
The music is sparse, relying on a delicate balance of instruments to create a vast, devotional feeling. It documents a shift toward the expansive jazz style that would define her career on the Impulse label.
