With Alice Coltrane back on the scene, I was wondering if anyone had any views on her duet project with Carlos Santana? This one is new to me. What's it like? Any good?

I never heard that one, actually. Bill Laswell did one of his remixes with it combined with "Love, Devotion & Surrender" (the Santana/McLaughlin project)

Okay, I'm old enough to have bought that Illuminations lp back in the day. I really like it. IF you like Alice's harp playing and IF you like her writing and arranging for an orchestra, this will be enjoyable.

I like the Laswell recreation as well, but Illuminations deserves to be reissued with additional material. I have a British cd now that is good. . . but doesn't stack up to the Santana reissues from the U. S. of the past four years.

I had this when it came out in the mid 70s. Didn't care for it and sold it. It'd be interesting to hear again now. My ears might hear differently.
