#alicecoltrane #vinyl #indiemusic
Step back in time to 1971 and experience the magic of Alice Coltrane’s historic Carnegie Hall performance, now unveiled for the first time in this never-before-released album. Joined by an ensemble of legendary musicians, including Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Jimmy Garrison, Cecil McBee, Ed Blackwell, and more, Coltrane takes center stage as a leader in her own right.
Captured live by Impulse! at a charity gala benefiting the Integral Yoga Institute, this recording captures the essence of a transcendent musical experience. The concert unfolds in two parts, with Coltrane’s ethereal compositions paving the way for explosive renditions of her late husband John Coltrane’s timeless classics.
From the celestial melodies of Alice’s own compositions to the fiery improvisations on John’s iconic tunes, each moment of this concert is imbued with passion, energy, and spiritual depth. It’s a rare glimpse into a pivotal moment in jazz history, where two musical legacies converge to create an unforgettable evening of music.
Join us as we journey back to 1971 and witness the brilliance of Alice Coltrane and her all-star band in this long-awaited release, “The Carnegie Hall Concert.”
