He really sounds like an evolved being. His thought patterns are so deep, yet gentle and nonviolent.

@an Impactfulled 🎼🎶🥁interval this Young DOWNBEAT writer; used THIS INTERVIEW as an “Key” to attain other “ Interviews; on course He cornered <nrk.tv/hoppsjazz> 1x @interview.   But👁who knows what that aSounded.🤓

Such a wise soul: “know myself first” and from that play.   

Such an inspiration -thx for upload, it’s wonderful to hear his voice and to realise his sound is just an extension of that.

if i could just know myself that i could just play

This guy....heard Trane practising. Imagine what THAT was like, walking up to John Coltranes house and hearing him practise!

Wonderful to hear this!! Thank you for posting this!

You Are The Sunlight - A Bit More Jazz, Funk & Soul From Japan

This dedication mix is long overdue. In 1996, my friend Dave played me "Journey to Satchidanada" and I was blown away. A year or two later, I recovered a weathered copy of the record from a book and record store on East 7th Street in Manhattan while digging around with the same friend and it became a prized possession. Over the coming years I educated myself on more of her music, digging up copies here and there, and feel a bit lucky to have grabbed most of her records before the "craze" hit sometime in the late 2000s. It's truly unique and beautiful music - I admit that I can't totally stomach some of the more free-leaning cuts she recorded, in the same way I can't get into the late work of her also-legendary husband, but when I put these albums on the turntable it truly is a bit of an "inter-dimensional" experience, like the cover art of her "World Galaxy" album.

Belated happy birthday to Alice Coltrane! Besides the first track, which is a clip from a seminal session she did with Marian McPartland for NPR's "Piano Jazz" series, these are all from my personal copies of her albums.
