Alice Coltrane's Journey In Satchidananda is a meditation in five parts, the 1971 Impulse! album where her harp, her faith and modal jazz became one.
In the years after John Coltrane's death, Alice pursued both a spiritual path and a sound entirely her own. The album takes its name from her teacher, Swami Satchidananda, and draws on Indian music as much as jazz, setting tamboura drones and oud alongside upright bass and drums. Pharoah Sanders brings his soprano saxophone, with Cecil McBee on bass and Rashied Ali on drums.
The title track is the gateway: a hypnotic bass figure, shimmering harp glissandos and Sanders weaving long, keening lines over the top. "Shiva-Loka" glows with a slower, ritual pulse, while "Something About John Coltrane" offers a tender tribute that never tips into sentimentality. "Isis and Osiris", recorded live, stretches out further still, with Charlie Haden joining on bass.
Decades later, the record sits at the very heart of spiritual jazz, and each new generation of listeners seems to find it at exactly the right moment. Few albums make a room feel calmer and bigger at the same time.
Put it on, turn the lights down and let it take the time it needs.
