===================================

===================================

ALICE COLTRANE - JOURNEY IN SATCHIDANANDA / 1971 / GRP / SPIRITUAL JAZZ

CLASSIC/10

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

[jakobsanchez]

I'm hoping this review brings more people aboard the Col-train, this record is a masterpiece.

[JoshuaMcBryant]

Did not know Flying Lotus was Alice Coltrane’s grand nephew, crazy

[readymade]

Flying Lotus has a song "Auntie's Harp" on Cosmogramma, when I realized the connection years ago my mind was blown. Hats off Melon.

[guillll]

This is probably the best album ever featured on this channel.

[dollarsaurus]

I wish he’d do classics week every month. So many great records out there I wish he’d talk about

[drewammons]

On a serious note this is one of the best jazz albums of the 70’s and all time

[dylanmcmahon]

So glad you're reviewing this transcendent masterpiece. It's sadly overlooked and I know a lot of people will listen to this thanks to you Fantano.

[laughterhappiness]

Turiya and Ramakrishna is honestly top 5 of the greatest song ever composed. She was brilliant and talented. Rest in peace Mr and Mrs Coltrane.

[KingZu]

for anyone who doesnt know, Alice Coltrane is actually Flying Lotus's Aunt! what a talented family.

[GraveyardPoet]

Alice Coltrane was a deep genius. I wrote an essay about this for the 50th anniversary of its recording (November 2020) for Vinyl Writers. My favorite jazz album. The most mystical, spiritual jazz album.

[nocoolkidsallowed]

This album is incredibly soothing, it's been my go-to for the roughest days of the past year

[chrilborn]

Another year, another classics week without Disintegration

*sigh*

[lilsnitch]

This is so underrated. Easily one of the top 10 jazz albums of all time.

[TheBallisticBrother]

For all those watching this who haven't done so yet: Do yourself a favor and listen to everything by Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders from around that time. It's all absolutely stellar.

[devprezalinie]

I’m excited for more people to get into Alice Coltrane because of this. She has so many great albums: Lord of Lords, Universal Consciousness, Monastic Trio and Transcendence are personal favs.

[RoughMusic]

Dorothy Ashby deserves a shout out in this conversation too, she deserves recognitions in every conversation about the time imo

[dulan]

For those who are interested in diving more into Alice’s discography, listen to “World Galaxy” and “Eternity”. Both great records as well.

[danielmashanic]

Anthony has such an amazing wide range and taste in movies. People always meme his comments but he always recommends the best stuff 🙌🏼

[CelestialGalaxy]

I’ve been waiting for an Alice Coltrane review for the longest. She is truly an amazing musician. I highly recommend Universal Consciousness, World Galaxy and Lord of Lords. 3 masterpieces.

[ActualKaktus]

The first track is one of the most transcendent pieces of music I've ever listened to.
