Accompanied by the sound of barrel scraping. I was really surprised to see this listed.

That's what that percussion instrument is! I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I have this material I believe on a cassette release. I find the material fascinating, but it's definitely not for everyone. I'll order this cd next time I make a big order from cdjapan (I can't add it to the order I have in place as I used a coupon for that order and you can't change an order you've used a coupon on).

It seems to me the kind of stuff you'd be able to buy at a meditation centre. Not suitable for general release. Can you remember where you bought the cassette, Lon?

[jazzbo]

I didn't buy it, I traded for it with another Coltrane nut.

Ah! I bet it can be traced back to an ashram.

[JSngry]

I'm thinking there were three ashram cassettes? If so, they were all blogged back in the day, and portions were included in the official compilation for a a few years ago. I like this stuff quite a bit, actually, and would recommend it to all but the most hesitant.

I think it's all organ trio, no overdubbed strings. Haven't pulled it out in a while and went to look at it and it isn't where I thought it was . . . story of my life! It's good, some of it really fierce, but I like her orchestral and her more overtly spiritual work for Warners a tad more.

Transfiguration!

[Rabshakeh]

Is it standard ashram music? Or is there a specific Alice Coltrane slant?

You can listen to Turiya Sings here. 

[Rabshakeh]

Thanks. 

Seems like an odd choice of a reissue, but I suppose Alive Coltrane is valuable property these days.

Please — that's Alive Costlane! (But at least you got her first name right.)

Fixed!

Can I buy "Alice Costlane" at the Costco?

First you have to find the Cost Lane (8 items or fewer) at Costco. They don't make it easy.

[JSngry]

But you can still get a hot dog on the way out.

True. But the Costlane version is vegan. As long as you know. 

[JSngry]

Vegan hot dogs are the ultimate disincentive to use the Costlane.

[Rabshakeh]

Ha! Only just seen this. Spell check's still busy, protecting us whilst we sleep.

You have to wonder — what was the imperative for making new cover art? 

[Harbour]

There’s an interesting interview with Ravi Coltrane in the new Mojo where he talks about this release and also that there are tons more recordings still in the archive and the next thing to come out this autumn is another John Coltrane Quartet live album recorded in 1965 the same week as Live in Seattle!

[jazzbo]

Wow. Thanks for the headsup.
