Alice Coltrane - Journey in Satchidananda


Highly spiritual album by pianist Alice Coltrane, also known as John Coltrane's wife. Just like her late, great husband she was capable of making some truly brain melting music.

This is a jazz album drenched with Middle Eastern, Indian, and Northern African music influences. The variety of instruments used from sitars, to harps, tambouras, and ouds reflect those influences. It also features the great Pharoah Sanders on sax.
